"Radiologists dictate dozens of reports all day. It is not unusual for them to not be signed. And they do not remember every report. The lawyer was trying to make him look bad, an old lawyer trick."
It's not a trick. The guy was either prepared to testify or he wasn't. If he did the work he should know who signed it.
Imagine if the autopsy is done and the ME is at a loss to explain who signed it. Would you be so casual in your dismissal of such an "oversight"?
"And no doc will comment on an opinion of another doc with a different speciality."
Especially if the other doctor is more highly trained even.
I often get the impression that there are some doctors who practice in hospitals and others who "practice" in the courtroom. Unfortunately, I suspect the latter are often given considerable credibility even when they deserve none, while the former are often given little crediblity even when they deserve much.
Are your paychecks coming directly from the "Flag"?
C'mon, level with me. It's just me and you... I won't tell anyone. Promise.
I can tell you have not worked in a hospital or given a deposition.
