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.

I agree. This is where preparation by the lawyers is crucial. It would appear that Dr. Walker didn't do his homework or the lawyers didn't. MS's on the other hand did.
There was a claim by the parents lawyer that they didn't know about the bone scan, yet MS's lawyer demonstrated that they did. This kind of false or incorrect accusation makes the parents lawyers look inept and my guess probbably ticked the judge off some?
