Witnesses of medical malpractice cannot seek damages for emotional distress, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled. The decision stemmed from $200,000 in damages awarded to a father whose son died during birth while being attended by an unlicensed, first-year medical resident. The family had initially been awarded $990,000 for wrongful death and medical negligence.
$200,000 was tossed out in damages awarded to the father of twins who had helped his high risk pregnant wife to the toilet when she felt the babies toes  emerging from her.  The baby, Adam, was delivered …

Ok.  I’ll admit it.  I did it.  Everyone does it. 
Last week I Googled myself.  The interesting part was what I found.  Two court documents were readily available and each plainly stated I was a credible witness.  Wonder if I could use these words of Judge Douthit the next time I am up against a tough opponent?  Hmmm.    Maybe I’ll try that on Friday when I am deposed by one of these same attorneys!
