To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the medical wit- ness is placed at a disadvantage in the courts, no one acquainted with the facts will deny. IJe is out of his chosen element — is to testify of matters but little understood by the court and less by the jury, and, though reading and thinking in a technical manner, is expected to testify in a different vernacular. As little as our legal brother may understand what we say, it is always to the interest of one side to distort what is said, and to effect his purpose he will cro...ss-question, badger and try in every way to confuse the witness.
Knowing beforehand what it is he wishes to prove by the physician, or what facts he would like to suppress, he takes advantage of his position to shape his questions in such a manner as to gain his pur- pose, even at the expense of a seeming error on the part of the expert.
There is often a disposition to distrust the professional witness, especially the paid expert. Dr. Henry F. Cambell, in his address as president of the American Medical Association, 18b5, relates an incident in the experience of a medical witness where this was ex- emplified, and where scientific investigation was ridiculed, as follows : " A woman was on trial for the murder of her husband by poisoning with arsenic, and a learned professor of chemistry and pharmacy in a medical college was the expert, who confirmed the other witnesses by finding arsenic in the stomach of the dead man.
