      10  Q     Doctor, you don't happen to have a curriculum vitae
      11         or resume around, do you?
      12                MR BERRIS:         You asked me that
      13         yesterday and since he's away from the hospital he
      14         doesn't have iL here  We'll make arrangements to
      15         get a CV to you

      17  Q     Sure
      18  A     Doctor, my name is is Robert Warner  I represent
      19         Dr Smith in this litigation  You and I met before,
      20         if you recall?
      21  A     Yes  I don't remember if we were on the same side
      22         or opposite sides
      23                 MR WARNER:         We were on the opposite
      24         side, if you have a question, Mr Berris
      25         I understand you recently underwent a surgery, but

      1          are you currently active in the treatment of seeing
      2          patients?
      3    A    Yes
      4    Q    When did you have your surgery?
      5    A    I had my surgery November 30th
      6    Q    Prior to November 30th, where were you practicing
      7          at?
      8    A    I will elaborate on that a little bit  I am
      9          Resident Emeritus in the Department of Peripheral
      10         Vascular Disease and I work sporadically because I
      11         am now entitled to work when I want or go tripping
      12         when I want  So this past year I worked January and
      13         February, and May and June
      14   Q    The other months of the year you were not working?

      17         saw patients
      18   Q    Are you scheduled to see patients in the next year
      19         at all?
      20   A    I have been asked to but I haven't made any decision
      21         on that because I am waiting to see how well I
      22         convalesce and ambulate  I have every intention of
      23         doing that again
      24   Q    The kind of sur
