Abstract

I would like to commend the Committee on Medical Liability of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Pediatrics. 1989;83:312-313) for the development of sensible guidelines for expert medical testimony. In addition to these recommendations, I would suggest that expert witnesses obtain an affidavit from the plaintiff's attorney stating under oath that they have provided the complete medical records of their client. Furthermore, a copy of any "expert" medical opinion should be forwarded to the defendant physician.
