Please cheeck my answer thanks :)
Dr. Smith is sued for malpractice. When called to give testimony at trial, he will be allowed to testify about the patient's care.
I think that's True
The other choices were...
be barred for revealing medical information about the patient's care.
---------------------------------------
not be permitted to take the witness stand.
----------------------------------------
be allowed to testify, but not about the patient's care
Although I'm not a lawyer, I assume you are correct. If the patient has sued the doctor for malpractice, the patient must have given up his/her right of privacy. The doctor has the right to testify about the patient's care in order to defend him/herself.
thanks ") I thought that as well if you are suing then the doctor should have a right to defend him/herself
You're welcome. :-)
Based on your statement, you believe that the statement "Dr. Smith is sued for malpractice. When called to give testimony at trial, he will be allowed to testify about the patient's care" is true. To verify your answer, let's break down the other choices and find the correct one.
1. "be barred for revealing medical information about the patient's care."
This choice suggests that Dr. Smith would not be allowed to testify about the patient's care because revealing medical information would be prohibited. This contradicts your belief, as you stated that Dr. Smith will be allowed to testify about the patient's care.
2. "not be permitted to take the witness stand."
This option implies that Dr. Smith would not be allowed to testify at all. Again, this contradicts your belief since you stated that Dr. Smith will be allowed to testify.
3. "be allowed to testify but not about the patient's care."
This choice suggests that Dr. Smith would be allowed to testify, but the subject matter would not be the patient's care. This contradicts your belief, as you stated that Dr. Smith will be allowed to testify about the patient's care.
Based on the analysis of the other choices, it seems that your initial belief is correct. Dr. Smith will indeed be allowed to testify about the patient's care when called to give testimony at trial.
