      10    variety of other defendants, and I believe you  were  also
      11    named a defendant in this cause of action.
      12           I would like to ask you a series of  questions  about
      13    your care and treatment of Mr. Worthing and  some  general
      14    questions about the treatment of Mr. Worthing in this
      15    matter.  If during the course of my questioning you don't
      16    understand my questions, please stop me.  Don't  answer  any
      17    questions you don't understand.  I will attempt to
      18    rephrase the questions so that you do  understand  it.  Is
      19    that agreeable?
      20    A.     Yes, sir.
      21    Q.     And it's important that if you do not hear my
      22    question, same thing.  Don't answer any  questions  that  you
      23    don't hear.  Stop me and I will repeat the question so
      24    that you can hear it.
