If he would listen to you, and assume thats whats wrong and try to treat it according to what you said, then somehow got more sick or hurt himself somehow, you could be suied.

you have to watch how you word things..if YOU think thats whats wrong with him, you can say "it sounds like acid reflux"...but to say "its acid reflux" is ignorant on your part.
