The following form contents were entered on December 3, 2003

Your Name: Merrie A Kidd, R.N., B.S.N.

Your Business Name (if applicable): Medical Records Review

Business Organization Type: Sole Proprietorship

Please describe your business: Medical Records Review produces thorough and comprehensive reviews of medical records to assist attorneys who are preparing for trial. The final written product includes a chronological timeline corresponding to a tabbed index of the medical records, an introduction that defines medical terms and procedures, a narrative summary of the medical record, and a discussion of the merits of the case utilizing the complaint or petition for damages as a reference point.

A computer diskette of the written products and selected reference articles are additionally forwarded to the attorney upon completion of each project.

Street Address: 4627 Banks Street

City: New Orleans

State: Louisiana

Zip Code: 70119

E-Mail: merrie@nursingexperts.com

Homepage Address: http://www.nursingexperts.com/merrie

What type of business or categories under which you would like to be listed:

Contact person(s): Merrie Kidd

Phone number: 504 482-4220

Fax number: 504 488-2675

In what date (month/year) did you start your business?: June, 2002

What kind of nursing do you do?:

How did you hear about the Nurse Entrepreneur Homesite?: Google search for LNC's

How many years have you been practicing as a nurse: Five

Professional organizations you belong to: American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants

What made you decide to start your own business?: Wanted to work from home. I had worked as a legal secretary for many years prior to becoming a nurse and have always been interested in medical/legal issues.

Employment changes in career?: THREE

What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses especially qualified to operate a business?: Organization skills, people skills, able to prioritize, hardworking, persistent.

Where do you work?: No

Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: For the profession, the clinical setting has become so difficult that most nurses want to get away from it. I personally am torn that I no longer have direct contact with patients. However, I have no desire to work in a hospital with the twelve hour days, the patient load, difficult doctors. The paperwork is so heavy that time is taken up doing paper work instead of direct patient care. Nurses in the clinical setting are caught between the doctor, the patient and the patient's family, and administration. Clinic jobs are less stressful, but don't pay very well.

Healthcare - I believe this county is in desperate need of some type of national healthcare program. It could be an elective program so that people might choose between private insurers or government insurance. I feel that middle class people do not have access to health care - at this point it is more accessible to the very rich or very poor.

Other areas of interest and expertise: Writing, gardening, have other degrees in the fine arts (dance) and still work with a dance company.

The 10 Biggest Mistakes Experts Make During Depositions:"The discovery depositions of expert witnesses are increasingly playing an important role in the litigation process. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 (4) A: “A party may depose any person who has been identified as an expert whose opinions may be presented at trial.” With this in mind, we turn to the ten biggest mistakes experts make during their depositions. #1 – Waiving The Reading of Signing Of The Deposition Transcript At the start of most depositions, counsel will agree on stipulations. Use of the most common stipulation is that the deponent waives the right to read and sign the deposition transcript. The expert who is interested in accuracy should not agree to this waiver lightly. Experts who agree to waive the reading and signing are agreeing to a document’s accuracy without even seeing the document."

10 Biggest Mistakes Physicians Make in Writing Their IME Reports:"The Independent Medical Evaluation (IME) reports that physicians prepare are playing an increasingly important role in workers' compensation cases, personal injury litigation, and long-term disability claims. Each year physicians prepare hundreds of thousands of IME reports which are read and utilized by judges, hearing officers, and plaintiff and defense attorneys to decide and settle claims. Physicians are frequently called upon at depositions, hearings, or trials to support, justify, and defend each and every word of their IME reports. With this in mind, we turn to the 10 biggest mistakes physicians make in writing their IME reports."

Advice on Answering Questions at Depositions:"Avoid Absolute Words You are well advised to avoid, where possible, absolute words such as "always" and "never." Absolute words are frequently an invitation to, and fertile grounds for, cross-examination by counsel. Counsel will attempt to damage your credibility by first getting you to make an absolute statement. She will then use counterexamples in an effort to show the falsity of your statement.

Connecting with the Jury:"In jury trials, the jury ultimately decides the case. Their job is to determine the facts of the case. A crucial part of this is determining the credibility of the witnesses. This includes expert witnesses. As such, it is of the highest importance that experts are able to communicate with the jury in a credible and persuasive way. Everything else is secondary. To connect with the jury, an expert needs to understand what juries want and know the best ways to communicate with them."

Opinions and Bases for Opinions, Seak.com:"The main reason expert testimony is presented is to offer an expert opinion. Accordingly, experts can anticipate being closely cross-examined on their opinions. They should also expect to be closely questioned on the bases of these opinions because an expert opinion is only as strong as the facts and reasoning upon which it is based. Questions in these areas are best blunted by carefully and honestly forming an opinion that is based on reliable methodology, a thorough investigation, and solid facts."

Stating Opinions and Conclusions in a Defensible Manner:"The main reason an expert is involved in a case is to state her opinion. The principal reason an expert writes a report is to communicate that opinion. The opinion must be communicated effectively and must be expressed in a defensible manner. The authors recommend the following.
