in a medical malpractice case, a physician must give testimony at at deposition thats part of?

Public Comments

1. During the discovery process the defendant physician must give testimony under oath at a deposition. Refusal to give a deposition can result in court ordered sanctions in the form of fines.
2. That's part of what? No a physician does not have to give testimony unless he is subpoenaed to do so.
3. I am not sure I understand your question, as it seems to be missing some words. However, if the deposition is noticed, then a physician defendant would have to give testimony under oath at the deposition as part of the lawsuit. This only applies to defendants. Non-parties would have to be subpoenaed and their testimony would have to be relevant. Experts depositions can also be noticed. Good luck, Dana (attorney)
4. Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party or witness, IF UNDER PROPERLY SERVED SUBPOENA, must show up and answer questions at a deposition. There are various santions available if he does not. Most importantly, the facts he may wish to controvert may be deemed admitted.
