For most physicians, talk of court, lawyers, or subpoenas brings on a rush of anxiety. The medical and legal worlds can overlap in many ways. In this five part series, we’ll cover everything from the basics, to being a percipient or expert witness, to the dreaded malpractice lawsuits. Joining us as Guest Host, is Dr. John Rose, Professor of Emergency Medicine at UC Davis. In the fifth and final episode of our series, we explore the role of expert witness with our own experts, Dr. Jim Holmes and Dr. David Barnes. We get into what it takes to be a medical expert and what to expect when you meet with the legal team and work through a case. There are benefits to being an expert witness, but it can also be a stressful and time consuming endeavor. Is it right for you? Have you acted as an expert witness?
