The plaintiff’s expert witness took the stand yesterday:
Defense attorney William J. Dailey Jr. questioned Wittgrove’s credibility, saying he had not seen X-rays of Weis until yesterday morning despite being contacted about the case before Thanksgiving. Dailey, who has stated that Hodin acted in the best interests of Weis because of the possibility of a pulmonary embolism, which would have made a second surgery extremely dangerous, also questioned Wittgrove by asking where in the medical reports by specialists following Weis’s initial surgery there was mention of any leaks.
