title: General form for requesting hospital documents. Part one.
abstract: As a Testifying Expert (TE), you will not speak to the documents outlined above because they involve medical, rather than nursing, issues. As a Purely Consulting Expert (PCE), you will advise plaintiff attorneys to obtain these documents in cases where applicable. You may also review these documents for either plaintiff or defense attorneys. Regardless of your role as a legal nurse consultant, you must be aware of the documents available to the attorney and how to obtain them when appropriate.
