Evidence-based expert testimony.

Expert witnesses undoubtedly know a great deal about topics on which ordinary people lack information. But experts, no less than other people, are subject to predictable memory biases. No plaintiff lawyer can enter the courtroom alone, without a doctor by his or her side to serve as an expert witness. The behavior of the plaintiff's experts (and the behavior of the experts who walk alongside the defense lawyers as well) is the subject of this article. What should guide expert testimony? How should those guidelines be implemented? How has our profession dealt with these issues?

[Peak flow profile and expert testimony. The significance of peakflow self assessment for pneumological expert testimony].

Quantitative assessment of pulmonary obstructive diseases, such as asthma, may be difficult because of variability of obstruction. This is particularly true with regard to expert evidence pulmonary physicians deliver to insurances. Severity of obstruction, degree of impairment by an obstructive ventilatory defect, and temporal relationship of bronchial obstruction to exposure, may not be detected by physiological measurements in the pulmonary function laboratory. Much of the expert's opinion on these matters will depend on the credibility he assigns to the insured individual. The insured individual, in the other hand, has no other proof available than the description of his complaints, which puts him at a disadvantage. Serial peak flow measurements can be instrumental in clarifying such issues. They add an objective dimension to the case history. Six cases in which expert evidence was commissioned by insurances are described in detail, to exemplify how the thinking of the experts was modified by peak flow profiles. The greater usefulness of serial peak flow measurements in occupational asthma is emphasized and problems that may arise with peak flow measurements are discussed.
