The spouse tricked him into taking the Seroquel by saying it would help him sleep. Now she is trying to say he is bi-polar in a custody battle when he's never been diagnosed

If your friend was never the doctor's patient and the doctor did not prescribe the seroquel to your friend then there was never a doctor/patient relationship. Therefore, your friend most likely cannot sue the doctor.

I agree, if there is no relationship with the doctor, there can not be a breach of the standard of care.
