Medical-legal consultation is a challenging adjunct to gastroenterology practice, encountering a wide range of problems. Cases in this series involved both medical malpractice and other liability issues, but only a minority of cases involve dendoscopic complications. Consultants can develop skills to efficiently perform independent medical examinations, give depositions and testimony in court. The expert must be informed, detached, and follow guidelines of ethical behavior in providing his or her opinions. The 1993 ruling by the Supreme Court in the Daubert case sets new standards for scientific testimony by expert witnesses.
医疗法律咨询是胃肠病学实践中一项具有挑战性的辅助工作，会遇到各种各样的问题。本系列案例既涉及医疗事故，也涉及其他责任问题，但只有少数案例涉及内镜并发症。咨询人员可以培养有效进行独立医学检查、在法庭上进行宣誓作证和提供证词的技能。专家在提供意见时必须见多识广、保持客观，并遵循道德行为准则。1993年最高法院对道伯特案的裁决为专家证人的科学证词设定了新标准。
