"While they turn their back to write some notes, a radiologist’s patient slips off the exam table."
Explanation: negligence is a breach of the duty of care that causes harm. Leaving a patient unattended on an exam table (leading to a preventable fall/injury) is an example; the other scenarios describe appropriate refusal, an adverse outcome despite proper care, or scheduling limits, not negligence.
