Mississippi Supreme Court Upholds Exclusion of Neurosurgeon's Testimony on Standard of Care for Internal Medicine

A trial court did not abuse its discretion in holding that a neurosurgeon was not qualified to opine on the standard of care for a practitioner of internal medicine, Mississippi's highest court has held. The ruling does not rest on the mere difference in specialties, but rather on the neurosurgeon's more general lack of experience and knowledge in the relevant practice area. See Hubbard v. Wansley, No. 2005-CA-01055-SCT (Miss. Apr. 26, 2007).
