You know, you would seem, it would seem that since all the physicians are held to the Hippocratic Oath, you know, of course that’s their ethic standard, an expert would want to ensure the patient gets, you know, recompense for an issue if it exceeds that reasonable standard of care. I mean, well, fall short of, not exceeds, but fall short of that standard of care. Yet earlier you mentioned that it’s hard to find these experts. It almost seems like it’s a violation of their own Hippocratic Oath.

Well, the Hippocratic Oath presumes that there’s a doctor-patient relationship, right? So, do no harm is assuming that there is a doctor-patient relationship. So, yes.
But for purposes of an expert that we’re going to hire to give an opinion on a case that relationship does not exist. Right. Oftentimes…oftentimes we can’t get a provider who is a treater, a subsequent treater, and that’s the best for us, that’s the best.
When a treater wants to get involved in a case and give an opinion, whether it’s an opinion on causation, whether it’s an opinion on standard of care, that is the best expert we could ever get.
