Balderdash - calling out defense experts who cite phantom articles
This is becoming a pastime of mine. I call it: name that article. Let's see if this defense rehab doctor (physiatrist) can do more than blow smoke:

11 Q So do you believe that when someone has suffered an
12 injury such as she did following a motor vehicle
13 collision that they are cured, and everything is back to
14 anatomical correctness as if she had never been in a
15 motor vehicle collision?
16 A Are you asking in general or in her case?
17 Q Either.
18 A Well, in general, some people remain symptomatic for
19 many years, and some get -- the great majority that get
20 in these accidents are all better within two or three
21 months.
22 Q And when you say all better, that means that it was as
23 if nothing had ever happened to begin with?
24 A I think if you talk to, you know, people on the street
25 that have had auto accidents, they tell you that they
24
1 healed up from them after a few months. Sometimes it's
2 a little longer, but that's basically what happens when
3 you talk to people, and the medical literature supports
4 that.
5 Q What medical literature supports that?
6 A Articles, journals.
7 Q Well, go ahead and tell me one of those articles and
8 I'll look it up.
9 A I don't have them sitting in front of me.
10 Q Give me the name of one.
11 A I don't have them sitting in front of me. I would have
12 to do a literature search on my computer to do that.
13 But my statements's based on, you know, being involved
14 in this area for about 40 years.
15 Q I know. You've said that like five times, and I
16 appreciate your longevity in the field. But I'm wanting
17 some support for your statements. So you can't think of
18 a single article?
19 A I don't memorize those kinds of things, it's just stuff
20 I read and I either save them or access them when I need
21 them.
