Ms$.$ Winter, an opera singer$,$ consulted with Dr$.$ Brown, an ear$-$nose$-$and$-$throat specialist about polyps in her throat. Dr$.$ Brown recommended an operation, and, when questioned by Ms$.$ Winter as to whether it could affect her voice, told her that he would not do the operation if there was such a risk. In fact, there was one chance in a thousand that she could lose her voice, but Dr$.$ Brown did not tell her because he felt she would overreact, and the polyps, if left, might later lead to serious problems. Dr$.$ Brown performed the operation without negligence. Ms$.$ Winter lost her voice. Ms$.$ Winter can sue Dr$.$ Brown for battery.
