Deposition Dissection: A Handbook For Doctors Facing Deposition Book

Doctors being sued and facing deposition need more than just a grasp of the medical matters of the case according to Moore (a nurse attorney who specializes in medical malpractice defense), they need a clear grasp of the legal and rhetorical strategies being employed by the attorneys in the deposition. In this guide, she provides explanation of these strategies and advice on how to respond to them. The process of the deposition is discussed; demeanor, pacing, and other aspects of testifying are covered; deposition technicalities are explained; and questions of when to settle are answered.
