Please submit a 750 word Essay #1 about your interview with a healthcare professional who has worked as an expert witness in a medical malpractice, personal injury or worker’s compensation case. The focus of this essay should be the expert’s retention and preparation for the deposition, not what happened in subsequent court testimony which is the subject of Essays #2. Use the following questions as a springboard for your interview and expand from there: Was the expert subpoenaed or retained? Was the person a fact witness with first-hand knowledge of the case (such as a treating physician) or was the person hired as an independent expert with experience but no first-hand personal knowledge of the case (and may have testified about injuries, causation of injury, or the defendant’s standard of care)? Did the expert advertise their expert services? How did the lawyer find them? What did they charge? How did they determine their fees? What did the person do to prepare for the deposition? What materials were reviewed? What research, if any, was done? Was a report written? Notes taken of reviewed materials such as medical records or deposition transcripts? What restrictions, if any, did the attorney place on the person’s preparation? What advice did the person give you about case preparation for your benefit as a future nurse expert? Was there a pre-deposition meeting with counsel? What was said and done during such a meeting? Did the person believe the meeting was adequate to prepare him/her for the experience of giving a deposition? Where did the deposition occur? Who was present? Were objections made? Was there a fight over what information the person would provide? Who asked the questions? Were they leading questions or open-ended? Did the witness make any changes to the deposition transcript? What advice did the person give you for your own deposition testimony as a future nurse expert?
