       1                MR CHAMBERLAIN:       Before we begin,
       2       I would like to make a statement on the record,
       3       and it is for Mr Foerstner's benefit, and to
       4       confirm our earlier conversation
       5            This is a continuation of Dr Morris's
       6       deposition  The questions on the liability and
       7       what Dr Morris finds to be deviations of the
       8       standard of care have been completely outlined
       9            And, Jim, you and I have talked about the
       10      fact that I will be objecting throughout  the
       11      course of the deposition to any rehash of that
       12      area in any specific detail, because I think it
       13      has been covered, and by someone from your
       14      o f f i c e 
       15           I understand you are a new lawyer, but this
       16      it is still your same firm, same party  being
       17      represented  On that basis, I think you have had
       18      that bite at the apple
       19           But as far as the second report on  what
       20      injury was proximately caused by the malpractice,
       21      I don't have a problem with that  That is what
       22      we are here for
       23                MR FOERSTNER:       okay  Well, as I
       24      told you on the phone, Hank, my interest here is
       25      going to be based primarily on proximate cause

       1       issues and damages
       2            You can object  I mean, it is certainly
       3       your right to object  I am going to ask the
       4       questions  I don't think you can tell the doctor
       5       not to answer any questions if they don't square
       6       with your idea of what is a proper question or
       7       not a proper question based upon the prior
       8       depositions
       9            So I will respect your objections and let
       10      the Judge rule on the admissibility, or
       11      otherwise
       12                MR CHAMBERLAIN:        Sorry, Doctor,
       13      you had to go through this, but this is
       14      unfortunately lawyer's legalese that we have to
       15      hassle over
       16                THE WITNESS:       No problem
