The first-time expert

Commentary

The details of this case are for gastroenterologists and psychiatrists. The learning points are of general application and although made by an expert in their first case, they reflect mistakes made by some more experienced experts who should know better.

Learning points:

  • If it is your first case as an expert witness, be trained and be prepared.

  • Inaccuracy undermines the expert’s credibility.
