In a medical malpractice case in New York, I have an opportunity to question the doctor whom you have sued.
This is a question and answer session known legally as a deposition. It's also known as an examination before trial.
This is really pretrial testimony that carries the same exact weight as if the doctor were testifying at trial.
The only difference is that this is being done in the doctor's attorney's office and there is no judge or jury present.
There is however a court reporter there to record all of the questions and all the answers.
In a failure to diagnose case, I will always ask the doctor if he knows what is a differential diagnosis. This is critically important.
I fully expect the doctor to know what a differential diagnosis is.
However, I want to know what his differential diagnosis was in this case. I need to know what tests he performed to rule in or rule out each particular condition he was considering.
If he failed to perform certain tests, those might be violations from the basic standards of medical care and I need to explore that.
