Overview

Excerpt from An Eye Case in the Courts As the patient did not develop an ulterior purpose in consulting me, I did not suspect any deception in his statements relative to inability to see well, and I inti mated to him that his impairment of vision, the degree of which I did not seek to accurately determine, might have been caused by an injury done to a branch of one of the fifth pair of nerves. He seemed very curious as to this opinion, and asked a good many questions regard ing it. I suggested that time might remedy his hurt, but doubted the efficacy of any treatment. Two months afterward, he came again to see me, and then informed me that he intended to bring an action at law for damages, and I was subsequently served with a subpoena to appear as a medical witness. I then felt a misgiving as to his credibility, and requested him not to subpoena me for reasons that. I stated. He remarked that I had referred to the case Of Dr. C., when he first consulted me, who was thrown from his carriage, striking violently on his head, the sight becoming impaired by consequence.
