The plaintiff hired a neurosurgeon to write an opinion about the patient’s care.
The hospital hired a neurosurgeon expert witness to defend the care that the nurses provided.
The expert is very careful to only comment on the nurse’s care, which will be helpful for the hospital as it tries to defend itself. This opinion does not provide any defense for the defendant general surgeon or neurosurgeon.
The plaintiffs entered multiple more expert witness opinions, including several neurologists, nurses, and a trauma/critical care general surgeon.
The trauma surgeon’s opinion is shown below only for MedMalReviewer subscribers. Additional expert opinions from this case will be featured at TheExpertWitnessNewsletter.com.
