How does it feel to have your medical records come under the scrutiny of The Supreme Court?

I suppose a civil matter is less onerous than a criminal case, but either can lead to a great deal of sleepless nights, needless worry and time lost in repeatedly reading through old notes.

My elderly patient changed their will. I was completely oblivious to the controversial nature and circumstances of this event until I was approached to testify in establishing the validity of the patient’s actions after they died three years later.

The will was challenged with the assertion that the patient lacked testamentary capacity at the time the changes were made. As you all should know, testamentary capacity is a legal term and not a medical condition.
