July 1993 - Did He Really Say That?

From Stephen J. Gugenheim of Dallas (Gardere & Wynne), two segments from the deposition "of the plaintiff in a bad faith case" - that was taken by Michael Quinn of Dallas (Zelle & Larson). Stephen Notes: "the first segment adds new meaning to the word "literal."

Q. What about Dr. Swink? Do you think you were completely up-front with him?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Though you didn't tell Dr. Swink about the injury at Champion Auto Parts?

A. That's right. I didn't want to get fired.

Q. Do you remember whether Dr. Swink took a medical history from you?

A. I don't remember.

Q. Have you ever seen Dr. Swink before?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. When?

A. When he was playing football at TCU.

Stephen admits that "the second segment, well, what else is there to day?"

Q. But you don't go see Dr. Lee periodically, or now and again, for your back problem?

A. There's nothing he can do. He's an M.D.
