Symptom Magnification, Malingering & Deception
The Complete Psychiatric Examination
Chiropractic Examination and Treatment
The Complete Orthopedic Examination
Medical Evidence of Soft Tissue Injury
The Complete Neurological Examination
After practicing trial law for 20 years, Attorney Steven Babitsky recognized that attorneys would obtain better results in personal injury cases if they could view and understand what went on during medical examinations. As the vast majority of personal injury cases involve orthopedic, neurologic, soft tissue, psychiatric or chiropractic examinations or issues of symptom magnification, he produced six videos to assist attorneys in their personal injury practice. These videos provide an insider's view of the examination process.
Attorneys are now able, at their convenience, to be inside the examination room to see what the physician or chiropractor is actually doing during these examinations. What better way to prepare for direct and cross examination than to view the tapes and watch as the doctors explain the objective and subjective findings they are looking for, the tests they are performing, and the clinical significance of their findings.
