WSLL Recommends: Deposing and Examining Doctors

Deposing and Examining Doctors, by Kim Patrick Hart, is a 2 volume guide published by James Publishing. The set gives attorneys clear cut advice, techniques, and tools for effectively deposing even the toughest medical specialists.

The set is broken down into 8 medical specialties:
  • Chiropractors
  • Neurologists
  • Orthopedists
  • Neurosurgeons
  • Physiatrists
  • Neuropsychologists
  • Dentists and oral surgeons
  • Plastic surgeons 
Each chapter has pattern questions, outlines, and samples of redirect examinations. Especially helpful is a separate chapter of color illustrations of common injuries and conditions in each field of specialty. The illustrations are usable for exhibits and are included in a CD along with the forms for each chapter.

The next time you are preparing to take medical testimony consider checking this valuable guide for a quick refresher before starting your depositions.
