well doctors can only do so much anyways, but he wouldnt even be thought of unless he actually examined you, even if he did and said you had liver cancer and tried to fix it, then you died, he is not responsible

No, a doctor isn't responsible for your death unless it was from malpractice. I think. So, if they had never examined you, they had never known of your sickness, they don't have anything at fault but if they did examined you, they have known of your life threatening disease and ignored or delayed treatment or sent you to appropriate treatment doctor/facility and it proof to have cause your death, then they'll probably go to jail or lost their license or both.

I believe, in this case, he would be liable. You are coming to doctor to provide you with a service. Once you are in his office, you are under his care and he is being paid, by you, for his service. If you told him your symptoms and he knows you are sick and does nothing...then...in my opinion..he should be held accountable. He would not be held accountable...if you were "not" under his care and he was just there.
