I think it depends. I reviewed a case for a lawyer who was defending a doc

Recently. I did not hold any punches where the doc screwed up. The lawyer was grateful for my honesty. The lawyer prob won’t have me testify or be deposed because I was honest with her. If you are true to your morals and honest I don’t see harm. Better someone who is honest than the docs who will sell their soul to make some extra cash.

I think it depends. It seems medical witnesses will argue whatever the lawyer is

This is what I'm thinking. If I was being sued, I would want myself as a witness

Worse. Much worse. This is taking down a doc or attempting to do so

But what if the Dr. Really is dangerous?

Personally I don’t think “dangerous” docs survive in most markets these days

Meh. An insurance doc denies a study. Whatever. A plaintiffs hired gun

I’ve done it. I don’t find it rewarding. Too often you’re a hired gun, and a
