15   BY MR. PHILLIPS:
16          Q.    State your name, please, 
17   sir.
18          A.    David Bregman, M.D., 
19   B-R-E-G-M-A-N.
20          Q.    My name is John Phillips, 
21   and I represent Dr. Yared in the case, 
22   and I'll be taking your deposition today.  
23   If at any time my questions don't make 
24   sense to you, if you'll let me know that, 
0006
 1   I'll rephrase them.   
 2                I want to start with some 
 3   questions about your background and your 
 4   current practice.  And I have your CV, 
 5   and I'm not going to go into it in 
 6   detail.  I'm going to try to summarize 
 7   part of it, but if I get it wrong, I want 
 8   you to straighten me out.  Okay?
 9          A.    Sure.

13          Q.     First off, let me just ask 
14   you to look at this.  Is that the most 
15   recent version of your CV in existence?
16          A.    Yes.
17          Q.    Okay.  We'll mark either
