4 CROSS-EXAMINATION

5 BY MR. DEVER:

6 Q Dr. Nordlund, for the record, would

7 you please state your full name and your business

8 address, sir?

9 A James J. Nordlund, Department of

10 Dermatology, University of Cincinnati/College of

11 Medicine.

12 Q Dr. Nordlund, you have just given me

13 your Curriculum vitae, which is long and I'm not

14 going to read all that, but is it current --

15 basically up to date -- to the best of your

16 knowledge?

17 A This was updated in July of 1994.

18 There are some other minor additions and stuff,

19 mostly articles, but nothing substantive.

20 MR. DEVER: Could we just have this

21 marked and make it an exhibit? Will you

22 mark that Exhibit #A?

24 was marked for identification.)

1 BY MR. DEVER:

2 Q Doctor, I assume that you have given

3 depositions previously?

4 A Yes, sir.

5 Q So you understand I will be asking

6 you questions, and ask for answers, and if you

7 don't understand anything, or if I am mixing you

8 up, or if I sound mixed up to you, will you just

9 get us corrected so that we can get on the same

10 wavelength. Okay?

11 A Yes, sir.

12 Q Again, Doctor, I have not read your

13 CV, and I don't intend to go over all that is in

14 there, but, generally speaking, would you tell me

15 for now what does your practice of medicine

16 consist of?

17 A Mostly dermatology.

18 Q And I notice you have -- part of your

19 time, at least, is spent with teaching and -- I

20 don't know how much time you spend teaching and

21 how much seeing patients. What is -- what do you

22 do? -- I mean, do you mostly teach, mostly see

23 patients now, or what do you do right now?

24 A I actually do both simultaneously.

I Do you want me to describe a week for you?.

2 Q Yes. Maybe that would be a way of

3 doing it.

4 A on a Monday morning I would mostly do

5 administration since I'm the chairman of the

6 department, and kind of get things moving.

7 Starting at noontime with a resident and a

8 student, we would see patients beginning at noon

9 and continue probably finishing up about 8:00 that

10 evening. So during that time we would be seeing

11 patients, but also we would be teaching. At the-

12 end of the sessions we spend an hour and go over

13 all of those patients, so we are teaching again.

14 On Tuesday mornings I have, again,

15 teaching sessions with our dermatology residents,

16 the family practice residents, pediatric

17 residents, internal medicine residents, and we see

18 inpatients that have dermatologic problems.

19 Tuesday afternoon would be either working with

20 some of our laboratory patients -- laboratory

21 people, excuse me -- or I might be seeing just a

22 few patients who come from out.of town, sometimes

23 out of the country.

24 Wednesday morning is an

1 administrative morning. Wednesday afternoon is

2 identical to a Monday. There again, I am seeing

3 patients full-time in a private setting, but with

4 a resident and with a student -- residency being

5 dermatology, sometimes family practice, sometimes

6 internal medicine, depending on who is assigned

7 that particular month.

8 Thursday morning, such as this

9 morning, from 8:30 until 12:00 we have a -- what

10 we call our "grand round teaching sessions" in

11 which we see unusual, difficult, uncommon,
