In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Pankti Fadia, DC, MBA, we continue exploring what happens when clinical care intersects with the legal system.
After discussing personal injury documentation and causation in Part 1, this episode moves deeper into subpoenas, affidavits, depositions, trial testimony, expert witness credibility, and ethical considerations for chiropractors and healthcare providers working in the personal injury space.
Dr. Fadia explains what providers should know when records are requested, how to approach deposition or courtroom testimony, and why confidence, preparation, and clear communication matter when your clinical decisions are being questioned.
This episode also highlights an important reminder: your role is not to defend the patient’s entire legal case. Your role is to explain your care, support your documentation, stay within your scope, and communicate your clinical reasoning clearly.
Key Themes in Today’s Episode:
- What to know when you receive a subpoena or records request
- The difference between written questions, depositions, and trial testimony
- How to prepare before giving testimony
- Why providers should answer only what is asked
- The importance of staying within your clinical scope
- How defense attorneys may challenge credibility
