William H Reid MD

General Practitioners

Primary Care
Dr. Mark Amdur recently published a useful group of "pearls" for the sometimes-vexing problem of assessing whether or not a person is competent to be the payee for his/her own social security disability payments. Dr. Amdur's brief article refers mainly to treating physicians, such as psychiatrists and primary care doctors, who deal with such questions (on form SSA-787) with every Social Security disability evaluation, but the principles often apply to independent medical examinations (IMEs) by psychiatrists and psychologists, and to other kinds and sources of payments.

Primary Care
Dr. Mark Amdur recently published a useful group of "pearls" for the sometimes-vexing problem of assessing whether or not a person is competent to be the payee for his/her own social security disability payments. Dr. Amdur's brief article refers mainly to treating physicians, such as psychiatrists and primary care doctors, who deal with such questions (on form SSA-787) with every Social Security disability evaluation, but the principles often apply to independent medical examinations (IMEs) by psychiatrists and psychologists, and to other kinds and sources of payments.
Family Practice
This principle often applies to the defendant's occupation or specialty, and not so much to the patient's symptoms or needs. Thus a judge could (but does not always) require an expert in emergency medicine to testify about alleged negligence by an ER physician treating a depressed person, or a primary care doctor (rather than a psychiatrist) for criticism of how a schizophrenic patient was managed in a family medicine clinic.
Emergency Care
"About 36,000 people commit suicide every year in the United States. Almost all are seriously, but treatably, mentally ill. Most come to the attention of a clinician in an emergency room, primary practice setting, or psychiatric setting within days or weeks of their deaths. Since 1995, suicide has been the second most commonly reported of all hospital "sentinel events" (not just psychiatric ones ). Suicide takes life from patients, parents from children, children from families, and valuable people from society. Suicide is a terrible way to lose a close relative or friend, leaving much greater damage than natural or accidental death. This paper discusses four points for those who want to improve much of this situation: (1) Suicide is rarely "voluntary" in any meaningful sense. (2) A great many suicides are preventable once a clinician becomes involved, but lack of simple recognition or procedures is often an obstacle to survival. (3) Suicide is worth preventing. Its personal, family, and social costs are enormous. (4) We recommend several practical ways to decrease suicide and the human costs that accompany it."

Neurology
Attorneys, clients, and courts should also expect that a professional offering expert psychiatric opinions has an M.D. or D.O. degree, has completed approved specialty training, is appropriately licensed, has been "certified" by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, is a member in good standing of professional organizations with ethics codes, actively participates in continuing education, is accepted by clinical/patient-care peers (e.g., serves on medical staffs of hospitals, practices within a clinical community, and/or teaches at a medical school), and enjoys a good reputation within the profession. (Note that there are competent psychiatrists who are not Board-certified or do not belong to professional organizations. Nevertheless, certification and membership are consistent with qualities which are important to consider in forensic settings.) The potential expert’s background should be free of factors which might diminish professional credibility (e.g., license restrictions, frequet personal lawsuits).
Autism
Qualified psychiatrists are often preferred in matters of severe psychiatric disorders (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, severe suicide risk, autism, and others), those associated with general medical illness (such as dementia, substance toxicity, psychological reactions to general medical illness or its treatment, and some kinds of substance withdrawal), or those that must be differentiated from general medical illness (such as somatoform/"psychosomatic" disorders), including their diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment, and prognosis.

Behavioral Health
Plan members had sued UnitedHealthcare and United Behavioral Health (a subsidiary) under the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), for creating and promulgating defective and overly restrictive acceptance (read "payment") guidelines for a number of psychiatric services. United Behavioral Health is the largest mental health care insurer in the United States, with plans that cover over 60 million subscribers.

MRI
When a physician finally ordered hospitalization and an MRI, a perispinal abscess had already caused permanent lower extremity paralysis. The case eventually led to a civil damage award of $1.2 million; one wonders why it was not far more. (Cohen F [2013]. Profit and prisoner's paralysis: $1.2 million verdict upheld.
Radiology
Although it's nice when an expert can answer "yes" when asked "do you treat patients, doctor," that question is often irrelevant to whether or not the witness meets some criterion for either clinical practice or expertise. Many very "clinical" physicians, including some psychiatrists and a great many other doctors, don't "treat" at all, but focus on examination, diagnosis, or consultation (even consultation which rarely involves seeing the patient himself, such as in radiology or pathology).
