Second, by accrediting Dr. Ampil and advertising his qualifications, PSI created the public impression that he was its agent.[22] Enrique testified that it was on account of Dr. Ampil's accreditation with PSI that he conferred with said doctor about his wife's (Natividad's) condition.[23] After his meeting with Dr. Ampil, Enrique asked Natividad to personally consult Dr. Ampil.[24] In effect, when Enrigue and Natividad engaged the services of Dr. Ampil, at the back of their minds was that the latter was a staff member of a prestigious hospital. Thus, under the doctrine of apparent authority applied in Nogales, et al. v. Capitol Medical Center, et al.,[25] PSI was liable for the negligence of Dr. Ampil.
