L, C7
.. : E
for the Plaintiff was W. Scott Henning, Esquire, and refit 2
for the Defendant was Thomas S. Brumbaugh, Esquire.
Neither party has any scheduling conflicts during
trial week. The trial is expected to last two to three
days.
This is a motorcycle accident in which liability
is admitted. The sole issue in the case is whether the
Plaintiff sustained serious injuries to get him out of the
limited tort threshold.
The parties have agreed to stipulate as to the
authenticity of Plaintiff's medical records and medical
bills.
Settlement does not appear to be likely.

JUDGE GUIDO
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANT LARRY MORRISON JR.'S MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE
TESTIMONY OF DR. ACRI, AND ANY AND ALL EVIDENCE, TESTIMONY OR
REFERENCE TO ANY TREATMENT RENDERED BY DR. ACRI.
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Larry Morrison, Jr., by and through his attorneys,
Thomas, Thomas & Hafer, LLP, and files the following Motion in Limine to preclude the
testimony of Dr. Acri and any and all evidence, testimony or reference to any treatment
rendered by Dr. Acri at trial, as follows-
1 . This action arises from a motor vehicle accident that occurred on
November 11, 2001.
2. Trial in this matter is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2007, before the
Honorable Edward, E. Guido.
3. Defendant, Larry Morrison, Jr., was operating a vehicle that was owned by
Kristine Harrison.
4. Mr. Morrison was traveling south on N. Locust Point Road, in Silver Spring
Township, when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a pole.
5. The Plaintiff was a passenger in the vehicle operated by Larry Morrison.
6. The Plaintiff suffered a pelvic fracture in the accident.
7. Six months after the accident, on May 7, 2002, Plaintiff began treating with
Ercol O. Acri, Jr., D.C., of the Acri Family Chiropractic Clinic.
8. On June 7, 2007, a videotaped deposition was taken of Dr. Acri, for use at
trial. A copy of the transcript of Dr. Acri's deposition is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
9. In his deposition on June 7, 2007, Dr. Acri testified that the Plaintiff first
came under his care on May 7, 2002, which was six months after the accident in
question. Exhibit A at p. 8, I. 24.
10. Dr. Acri testified as follows:
Q. Based upon the history you obtained thus far, the review of
x-rays, your physical exam findings, what was your initial
diagnosis of Mr. Garman's situation?
A. Well, I felt that he had cervical and pelvic subluxations,
and we treated according to what I found on the x-rays
and the physical findings.
Q. And in your opinion within a reasonable degree of
chiropractic certainty, what caused there injuries and these
diagnoses that you just related to us?
A. Well, according with the history and what I'm finding - -
what I found on his physical, and with the x-rays, I would
assume that the injuries were related to the auto
accident.
Exhibit A at pp. 14 - 15. Emphasis added.

11. On cross examination, Dr. Acri testified as follows:
Q. Can a cervical subluxation be caused from heavy lifting?
A. Cervical subluxations can

many different things.
be caused from sneezing.
cervical subluxations from
Q. When you were asked whether the injuries were related to
the accident, your response was that you assume that the
injuries are related to the accident.
Are you able to testify with certainty that the injuries were
caused by the accident?
A. My feeling was with reviewing the history with the
patient and his findings that I would say that the
accident injury was the cause of his symptoms.
Q. Are you basing that upon his history that he provided to
you?
A. I'm basing that on the physical findings, the x-rays.
None of them are indication of exactly what time or
dateline on any of those injuries, but with the history of
the patient and what I am finding when he came in to
the office six months or five months later, that I would
say that the accident was the cause of a lot of his injury
- - or the symptoms.
Q. Are you able to exclude any activities between the date of
the accident and his first time of treatment?
A. I would - - I don't have the knowledge to or that
information to base it on, so I couldn't say yes or no on
that.
Exhibit A. pp. 22 - 23.
12. Dr. Acri's entire opinion at to the causation of the condition for which he
treated the Plaintiff is based upon nothing more than speculation or conjecture.
3
1 L ?
13. Furthermore, Dr. Acri testified that he could not exclude other activities,
even sneezing, as causing Plaintiff's injuries.
14. Dr. Acri's testimony cannot possibly aid the jury, as all Dr. Acri has to offer
is his assumptions or guesses as to the cause of Plaintiff's injuries.
15. Because his conclusions are nothing more than speculation or guesses,
Dr. Acri should be precluded from offering the same at trial.
16. Plaintiff should be precluded from offering any evidence, testimony and
reference to treatment rendered by Dr. Acri since Plaintiff can not establish that the
treatment is causally connected to the accident.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Larry Morrison, Jr., respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court enter an Order that Plaintiff is precluded from offering any testimony of
Dr. Acri at trial.
Respectfully submitted,

REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. HENNING:
Q Doctor, Scott Henning again. Just following up
on some of the questions that were asked to you by Attorney

A Videofluoroscopy is motion study x-rays, low
density. They're brought on by computer enhanced x-ray.
Q And you had indicated in response to one of
Attorney Brumbaugh's questions that you don't treat
fractures and that you refer those out to another doctor,
is that correct?
A Correct.
Q Do you treat patients that have ongoing pain
and problems following a fracture after the fracture is
healed?
A Yes, we do.
Q Is that a regular part of your treatment
practice?
A That's a normal process, yeah.
MR. HENNING: Did that generated any more
questions from Attorney Brumbaugh on the doctor's
qualifications?
MR. BRUMBAUGH: No.
MR. HENNING: Okay.
BY MR. HENNING:
Q Doctor, I want to focus now on the treatment
that you've provided to Dr. -- or to Mr. Garman. When did
Mr. Garman first come under your care?

it a referral or do you know those details?
A offhand, I don't know. No, I don't remember.
Q What was the injury and medical problem that
Theodore presented to you on May 7, 2002?
A Initially he came in with multiple areas of
pain. Low back pain, neck, shoulder pain and headaches. I
mean, I can just read them off. Headaches, stiff and sore
neck, pains between shoulder blades, lower back pain, pain
in the hip area.
Q Did he provide you with a history regarding the
onset of those symptoms and problems?
A Yes, he did.
Q What did he tell you, Doctor?
A He said that he was in an auto accident on
November 11th of 101.
Q Did he describe to you the nature of that
accident?
A That he was a passenger in a car, hit a
telephone pole.
Q Did he provide you with any history regarding
the treatment he had received for the injuries from that
collision prior to coming to your office?
A He had given me some information, and then I
had gotten information from Carlisle from Carlisle Regional
Medical Center from the injuries that they had treated the

day of the accident.
Q What did you learn from that prior history of
treatment?
A That he initially came in to the hospital with
a pelvic fracture, or pelvic pain and they had found a
fracture.
Q As far as going back to the collision itself
and the impact of the collision, did he relate to you
anything that happened to his body during the collision?
A That he was thrown around in the car. That it
hit a telephone pole, it went sideways, and he hit -- he
was on the passenger side and hit the right side of the
passenger door, the telephone pole hit the car. Or the car
hit the telephone pole, I should say.
Q Did he relate to you anything about the impact
of striking his head on anything or any other portions of
his body?
A He had mentioned that he had hit his head.
Fracture -- I think he broke a window with it. I think
initial -- the initial complaint and all was mostly because
of the severe pelvic pain is what his voice specified at
the time.
Q At part of your initial visit on May 7, 2002,
did you conduct a physical examination?
A Yes, I did, and took x-rays also.

Q And what did the physical examination reveal?
A Let me pull that out for you.
Physical exam, he had a positive cervical
foraminal compression test which is in a lateral flexion
which indicated that he had nerve and arm pain or had pain
on that right side of the body.
He also had muscle spells in the left shoulder
with the shoulder depressed where there's mostly muscle
pulling. Positive Lewin-Gaenslen's test which involves the
low back and lumbar area. It was bilateral.
He had limited range of cervical motion with
pain, limited range of lumbar motion with pain, and he had
hyperpatellar deep tendon reflexes.
Q This foraminal compression test, can you
describe for the jury what's involved in that test?
A I'm behind the patient, putting pressure on top
of the head with his head slightly tilted to the right or
to the left, and he had a positive on the right-hand side,
indicating that he had some nerve impingement on that right
side.
Q And when you indicate that you were able to
elicit muscle spasms on palpation, is that something that
you visibly observe as the examiner, or is that something
that the patient is telling you that they're having spasms?
A When I'm putting pressure on, normally it's

from what I'm feeling through the muscle myself. If I'm
feeling muscle twitching or muscle jumping or hard muscle
bundles under the surface.
Q You mentioned you took x-rays. Those were
taken in your office?
A Yes.
Q And I think you indicated in response to one of
your earlier questions that you're trained and qualified to
read those --
A Yes.
Q -- radiologic studies?
What did the x-rays reveal?
A Revealed -- I took an A to P open mouth
lateral, cervical, flexion-extension views of the cervical
spine. He had a reduced or decreased cervical curve of 45
centimeters. A normal curve would be at 17 centimeters.
So it was flattened -- a flattened out cervical curve.
He had an Atlas angle of 12. It should be
between 18 and 24. So it indicated that he had an
anterior, inferior tilted Atlas.
He had narrowed disc spaces between cervical 2
and 3, and he also had osteoarthritis of C5-6 that were
real mild in the anterior body of those segments.
Rotation-wise, he had limited rotation of the
upper thoracics of T1, 2 and 3. And he had a left

internally tilted pelvis with lumbar body rotation,
narrowed disc space between L5 and S1, and there was no
osteoarthritis at all noted in the pelvic view.
Q Now, this flattened cervical curve, what does
that signify to you as the treating doctor?
A Cervical subluxations will indicate either
increase or decrease of cervical curve.
In this case his curve the majority of times
will decrease in nature, so at 45 centimeters it's not a
large loss but there is a loss there. It just indicates
that there's been some problems there.
Q When you say problems, what type of problems?
A Cervical subluxations could cause that loss of
cervical curve.
Q Can you define for the jury what a subluxation
is in the spine?
A Yeah, a cervical subluxation would be a
misalignment of segments compared to the segment above and
the segment below.
Q You mentioned also that the x-rays of the lower
spine and pelvis area showed an internally rotated left
ilium. What does that mean?
A Well, the pelvis is made up of three bones, the
two ilium and the sacrum. If a pelvis is subluxated, the
images will not appear to be balanced from side to side.

15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
So it will show the pelvis either being flattened out or
rotated.
The rotation x-rays are kind of like passing a
shadow or an image. So when you're comparing side to side,
we know that the bone is the same, so that the image will
appear to be more narrowed. In this case it was flattened
out and it showed that it was slightly internally rotated
compared to the other side of the pelvis.
Q One thing I glossed over, Doctor, in terms of
taking history, did you inquire of Mr. Garman about his
relevant medical history prior to the motor vehicle
collision, whether there was anything of significance
there?
A As far as I understand, there was -- he was a
pretty healthy gentleman up until that part. Like I said,
I saw him several months after the accident, so when he
came in, he was under some distress at that point.
Q Based upon the history you obtained thus far,
the review of x-rays, your physical exam findings, what was
your initial diagnosis of Mr. Garman's situation?
A Well, I felt that he had cervical and pelvic
subluxations, and we treated according to what I found on
the x-rays and the physical findings.
Q And in your opinion within a reasonable degree
of chiropractic certainty, what caused these injuries and

these diagnoses that you just related to us?
A Well, according with the history and what I'm
finding -- what I found on his physical, and with the
x-rays, I would assume that the injuries were related to
the auto accident.
Q Can you provide us with an overview of the
treatment that you've provided to Mr. Garman. I know
you've treated him over a period of a few years.
A Yeah, we treated him approximately 30 times
over that time, ending -- the last treatment was August
27th of 105. The first treatment was May 5th -- or May 7th
of 102. Within that time 30 treatments, not all were of
adjusting. Some would have been pressure point therapy,
muscle release, trigger point release, Logan Basic which is
a soft tissue full spine adjustment, cervical adjusting,
and pelvic adjusting.
We use drop pieces. I use instrumentation. So
there's no twisting or turning. You know, there's no
forceful adjusting as far as like any rotational moves at
all.
Q And I know this may be tedious, but so we don't
have to go through each and every visit and we can just do
this as an overview, can you identify for us how many times
you saw Mr. Garman for treatment --
A Sure.

Q -- for these injuries in 2002, 2003, 2004 and,
of course, 2005?
A 14 times in 102, nine times in 103, once in
104, and he came back -- 104 was March of 104. He didn't
come back into the office until June of 105, and we saw
him six times in 105
Q And you would see him, like you would treat him
for spurts?
A It was more of an on as-needed basis.
Q Were you always treating the same parts of the
body?
A In most cases, yeah. Initially, we did some
pelvic adjusting and cervical adjusting because when he
came in he had all those symptoms, so we treated all areas.
When I treat the spine, we're treating what we
find that day. So not every time was the same treatment,
depending on what was needed for that day alone.
He had multiple cervical subluxations, and he
had the pelvic adjusting. A lot of the pelvic adjusting we
did with just soft tissue work. So trying to -- after the
initial adjusting, some of the treatments it's not
necessity to continue using a lot of force on those areas.
Sometimes you initiate a force and then just keep it going
with trigger point or pressure point release.

Doctor, were those visits necessary because of the sequelae
of the injuries sustained in this 2002 collision?
A I felt at the time it was a return of some of
his old symptoms. I do dermothermography readings, and my
analysis, it seemed very similar to what he had from the
initial onset, and something, you know, brought those back
on. So it's an ongoing problem.
Q Is it unusual to see somebody have ongoing
problems after a pelvic injury of this nature?
A No. Patients in the past I've seen years after
auto accidents, and it keeps reoccurring back and forth
depending on the problem of the injury, severity of the
injury, and the type of work that they do. Sometimes those
types of things can aggravate the situation.
Q Does it take a fair amount of force, for
example, in this car collision, to fracture the pelvis in
two places?
A I would take -- it would take quite a bit of
force. I would have to assume that he hit the side of the
car pretty hard to fracture, be able to fracture the
pelvis.
Q And when a pelvis is fractured in the nature in
which Mr. Garman's pelvis was fractured, does that cause
other forces on the lumbar spine area, the low back area?
A I'd say if you hit the car that hard to

fracture something, it had to put enough force on the body
to cause other subluxations.
Q Now, as part of your initial consultation and
visit on May 7, 2002, did you have Mr. Garman complete
questionnaires asking about his symptoms and injuries?
A Yes, we did a -- I did an analysis -- a sheet
that he would fill out marking the types of symptoms he's
having and then grading himself. And he would be marked in
severe pain at the time when he came in using a visual
analog scale.
Q In one those sheets that I have there's a
portion of it that asks what functions you are unable to
perform or that induce pain upon performance.
Do you see that?
A Right.
Q It's on the lower right-hand corner of the
page?
A Correct.
Q What did he indicate in terms of activities
that cause him problems and were of severity?
A Walking, stepping up, twisting of the body or
turning his neck.
Q The treatments that you provided to Mr. Garman,
would they provide him with relief of symptoms?
A Yes, he was having difficulty working. After
19
1 the initial treatments, we got him back to work, and he was
2 back -- he was employed up until when I saw him last.
3 Q Now, based upon your firsthand involvement with
4 this gentleman over these four years of treatment and the
5 visits you've mention, what is your overall prognosis of
6 what the future holds for Theodore in terms of these
7 injuries?
8 A Yeah, I can only talk to as of 105, since
9 August of 105 was the last he was in. I would assume that
10 he would have maybe occasional reoccurrences of these
11 symptoms depending on his activity level.
12 Q With these types of injuries -- the cervical
13 spine and the pelvic area and tying into the low back --
14 what types of functional issues would arise because of his
15 bouts of periodic problems?
16 A Assuming, you know, if everything was healed
17 right -- obviously the pelvis had healed up, the
18 fracture-wise healed -- because it healed, it doesn't mean
19 that there wasn't other soft tissue damage to those areas.
20 Those types of things will heal, but they leave scar
21 tissue.
22 So, I mean, certain activities, if he has to
23 lift heavy or bending or twisting, you know, it would be
24 impossible to just to pick one or two things that may cause
25 it. He's a physical type of person, so I would assume that

20

22

20
any type of those activities at certain times could trigger
it.
Q When he came back to see you in 2005 -- we
talked about what he was complaining about in 2002 as far
as walking--
A Right.
Q -- and stepping up on things. I'm talking
about -- I'm assuming he was talking about going up and
down steps. And I think you talked about twisting body
movements.
Was he complaining about the same type of
functional issues when he saw you in 2005?
A Most of 105 was neck pain. So when he came
back in June of 105, he had some cervical pain. visual
analog scale of 4.2 out of a zero to 10 scale. He had
cervical limited range of motion. Headaches were
developing. And he was having developing some shoulder
problems, right shoulder problem.
Q The concept of headaches, is that something
that's tied in or part and parcel to a cervical
straining-spraining?
A Yeah, it's not unusual to see tension type
headaches coming from or radiating from the neck.
Q Now, Doctor, all the opinions you've rendered
today, have they been rendered within a reasonable degree

RECROSS-EXAMINATION
BY MR. BRUMBAUGH:
Q Dr. Acri, once again my name is Tom Brumbaugh.
I represent Mr. Morrison. I have some follow-up questions
for you.
A Um-hum.
Q Now, you didn't see Mr. Garman for six months
after the accident, isn't that true?
A That's true.
Q Do you have any idea what he was doing in those
six months?
A Other than he was having some difficulty trying
to work. That's all I know of, yes.
Q But he was working at that time?
A I think he was working off and on at that time.
I have -- I can tell you what his last date of work was.
Was -- last day of work was March 12th, 102.
Q Okay. And do you know what his job was?
A Well, he was working -- type of employment was
retail, clean-up, and he was working up at Ski Roundtop.
Q Do you know if his job involved heavy lifting?

A That, no, I don't know. I didn't have any --
just did all activities.
You know, it had -- as far as individually, no,
it didn't break down into what type of work he was doing at
the time.
Q Do you know why he left or stopped working at
Ski Roundtop in March?
A That he was having difficulty with just the
symptoms that he came in with that I understand.
Q Now, if an individual has the reduction in the
cervical curve and the cervical subluxations, would they
feel those symptoms right away?
A Sometimes those take a little time to develop.
Q The symptoms take time?
A The whole thing takes time to develop. You can
have an injury to the spine, and it may not show up for
months down the road.
Q Can a cervical subluxation be caused from heavy
lifting?
A Cervical subluxations can be caused from
sneezing. So, yeah, you can have cervical subluxations
from many different things.
Q And even from lifting?
A And from lifting.
Q Are you familiar with Dr. Fultz who was also

treating Mr. Garman?
A No.
Q When you took your history from Mr. Garman, the
initial history --
A Um-hum.
Q -- when you write down the symptoms, is there
any particular order in which you identify the symptoms?
A Not always. Usually I start from the neck
down.
Q When you were asked whether the injuries were
related to the accident, your response was that you assume
that the injuries are related to the accident.
Are you able to testify with certainty that the
injuries were caused by the accident?
A My feeling was with reviewing the history with
the patient and his findings that I would say that the
accident injury was the cause of his symptoms.
Q Are you basing that upon his history that he
provided to you?
A I'm basing that on the physical findings, the
x-rays. None of them are indication of exactly what time
or dateline on any of those injuries, but with the history
of the patient and what I'm finding when he came in to the
office six months or five months later, that I would say
that the accident was the cause of a lot of his injury --

or the symptoms.
Q Are you able to exclude any activities between
the date of the accident and his first time of treatment?
A I would -- I don't have the knowledge to or
that information to base it on, so I couldn't say yes or no
on that.
Q Okay. Now, I understand from August 2002 to
October 2002, he didn't seek any treatment with you?
A Give me the dates again?
Q August 13th, 2002 to October 11th, 2002.
A You're saying -- 102 here. He came in 5-07.
You're saying what date? I'm not following your date here.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
Q August 13th, 2002. Let's go this way.
A All right.
Q From May 7th, 2002 up until approximately
August 13th, 2002, would you agree you treated him
basically every other week?
A I'd say it was sporadic depending on his
symptoms, yeah.
Q Okay. And then what about from August to
October, did you treat him?
A If there's nothing marked in there, then he
didn't come in, no.
Q Do you know where he was or what he was doing

A He was just out of town. That's all I have, a
note that he was out of town.
Q Do you know where out of town he was or what he
was doing?
A Not in my records. I have no knowledge of
that.
Q Okay. And then he treated with you two times
in October?
A He treated with twice, yes, the 11th and the
16th.
Q And then when was the next time he came in?
A The next one was in February.
Q So there was no treatment between October and
February?
A That's correct.
Q And why did he come in to see you in February?
A February was right shoulder, right scapular
area, and cervical range of motion, cervical -- from the
cervical region.
Q And what was it that he was doing that caused
him to experience the pain?
A He was -- it was aggravated by shoveling snow.
Q Then you treated him, would you agree,
approximately twice a month in May, June and July of 103?

correct.
Q Okay. And then when was the next time that you
saw him?
A It would be March of 104.
Q And then when was the next time that you saw
him?
A It was June of ' 05 .
Q So over a year --
A He went --
Q -- he went --
A Correct.
Q Do you have any knowledge of his activities
from May of ' 02 to August of ' 05?
A There's nothing in my notes as far as -- of his
activities other than his work. I mean, that I know he was
working at the time, but I don't have that in my notes.
Q And did his work involve heavy lifting?
A His work involved a lot of moving things
around. I don't think it was heavy lifting, no, at the
time.

Q What would you consider to be heavy lifting?
A Well, I'd say anything over 25, 30, 40 pounds.
Depending on the individual. He's a pretty good size
gentleman, so lifting could be heavier for him.
Q Are you being paid for your testimony today?
A Not that I know of.
MR. BRUMBAUGH: Okay. Thank you.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. HENNING:
Q Doctor, just a few follow-ups.
When Mr. Garman came to see you in May of 2002,
we know from --
A Right.
Q -- the simple chronology of events that was six
months after the collision. Did he relate to you any other
traumatic events or incidents that he was involved in,
lifting incidents, falls?
A No, not at the time, no.
Q So the only thing he related to you as the
cause of his symptoms was this car accident?
A Correct.
Q You indicated on direct examination that during
the collision Mr. Garman indicated to you that his head
struck the window, the side window, door window --
A Correct.

Q -- and broke it.
What does that tell you about the force that
was applied to his head and neck area, spine?
A I don't know what the poundage would be to need
to break a window, but I would think any type of force that
you can break a car window with would have to be traumatic
enough to cause force, a jamming force into the neck, head
and shoulder area.
Q When people have initial injuries like
Mr. Garman has for which you've been treating him -- the
pelvic fractures, the cervical subluxations and
spraining-straining mechanism -- are those people more
susceptible to recurrences or aggravations of that injury
from just doing simple tasks, day-to-day activities, like
shoveling snow or cooking, cleaning?
A Those types of -- once you have an injury of a
certain type, depending on the individual, normal
activities, just actual normal stress in their life can
aggravate some of these conditions.
MR. HENNING: Those are all the questions I
have.

cause an injury?
A No, I wouldn't say that we're trained in any
type of -- I mean, as far as what causes subluxations?
Q Yes.
A Well, subluxations can be caused from a lot of
different reasons. So I don't think there's -- I don't
know if there was any studies done about how much force
would be needed to cause a subluxation.
Q But you yourself, haven't had any
specialized --
A I can't say that I've had -- that I remember of
any courses that went into any specifics other than
biomechanics that we've had and kinesiology and the anatomy
and physiology courses that we've taken that would indicate
any more with, you know, whatever we studied at that time.
I don't remember anything specifics about
saying that you needed so many poundage per square inch to
cause a subluxation, no.
Q Do you have any knowledge or training in
determining the pounds per square inch that was applied as
a result of --
A No.
Q -- a certain accident?
A No.

Mr. Garman told Dr. Fultz that he was not having neck or
back pain?
A Just whatever he reported to me is all I know.
I have never had contact with Dr. Fultz.
Q And were you aware that Dr. Fultz said that he
could not state that the neck pain was related to this
accident?
A No. Did Dr. Fultz -- you know, I don't know.
No, I don't know that.
Q would that cause you to change any of your
opinions today?
A No, because I don't know what Dr. Fultz knew of
at the time when I saw him early on at that time. You
know, I mean, he saw him -- what was the date he saw him?
Q February 2002, that would be before you saw
him.
A Right before I saw him.
Q Yes.
A Right. And I don't know what Dr. Fultz'
studies took him in subluxations of the spine, so I don't
know what he knows about it.
MR. BRUMBAUGH: I have no further questions.
MR. HENNING: Nothing further.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANT LARRY MORRISON JR.'S
MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE PLAINTIFF FROM OFFERING ANY EVIDENCE,
TESTIMONY OR REFERENCE OF ANY ECONOMIC LOSSES, LOSS OF EARNING
CAPACITY OR FUTURE WAGE LOSS AT TRIAL
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Larry Morrison, Jr., by and through his attorneys,
Thomas, Thomas & Hafer, LLP, and files the following Motion in Limine To Preclude
Plaintiff From Offering Any Evidence, Testimony or Reference of Any Economic Losses,
Loss of Earning Capacity or Future Wage Loss At Trial, as follows:
1. This action arises from a motor vehicle accident that occurred on
November 11, 2001.
r0 P
2. Defendant, Larry Morrison, Jr., was operating a vehicle that was owned by
Kristine Harrison.
3. Mr. Morrison was traveling south on N. Locust Point Road, in Silver Spring
Township, when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a pole.
4. The Plaintiff was a passenger in the vehicle operated by Larry Morrison.
5. The Plaintiff suffered a pelvic fracture in the accident.
6. Under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law, a
plaintiff is precluded from pleading, proving or recovering any medical bills paid or
payable by any first party coverage or by any program, group, contractor or other
arrangement as defined by law. 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 1722. See also 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 1719.
7. It is undisputed that at the time of the accident that is the subject to this
litigation, the Plaintiff had automobile insurance coverage through a policy issued by
Dairyland Insurance Company.
8. Plaintiff received benefits for his medical expenses and wage loss through
the policy of insurance covering his vehicle.
9. Furthermore, it is believed that all of Plaintiff's medical bills and wage loss
has been covered by Plaintiff's insurance coverage.
10. Since Plaintiff's medical bills and wage loss has been paid by his
insurance, Plaintiff is precluded from pleading, proving or recovering at trial any medical
bills or wage loss at trial.
11. Plaintiff has not provided Defendant with documentation of any out of
pocket expenses.
2
r' 1'
12. As such, it would be prejudicial to let plaintiff introduce any such evidence
at trial.
13. Plaintiff's treating physician, Dr. Craig Fultz, has already given his
videotaped deposition for use at trial. A copy of the transcript is attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
14. In his deposition, Dr. Fultz testified that he discharged the Plaintiff to
regular duty work effective 2/12/2002. Exhibit A, p. 11, II. 7-8.
15. Dr. Fultz did not place any restrictions of Mr. Garman's ability to work.
Exhibit A., p. 27, II. 7 - 9.
16. At no time during Dr. Fultz's deposition did he offer any opinion as to any
possibility of loss of earning capacity or possible future wage loss as a result of the
injuries arising from this accident.
17. Because Plaintiff's expert has not rendered an opinion to the requisite
degree of certainty as to whether or not Plaintiff will incur any loss of earning capacity or
will incur any future wage loss as a result of the injuries arising from this accident, the
jury would be left with nothing but speculation as to any future loss of earning capacity
or future wage loss.
18. As such, Plaintiff should be precluded from offering any evidence,
testimony or reference at trial to any alleged loss of earning capacity or future wage
loss.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Larry Morrison, Jr., respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court enter an order precluding Plaintiff from offering any evidence,
3
T. A
testimony or reference of any economic losses arising from this accident, or any future
wage loss or alleged loss of earning capacity.
Respectfully submitted,

Q Now, we're here today about Theodore Garman and
a pelvic injury. Do you routinely treat individuals who
have sustained pelvic fractures?
A Yes, I do.
Q And without getting into any details just at
this moment, am I correct in stating that Theodore Garman,
Junior, has been one of your patients?
A That's correct.
Q Doctor, I want to show you a document which
I've identified as Fultz Exhibit Number 1. Can you

A Yes, it does.
Q Does it also set forth various professional
organizations to which you belong?
A Yes.
Q And is that document accurate and up-to-date?
A Yes.
MR. HENNING: At this point, I'd like to offer
Dr. Fultz as an expert witness in the field of orthopedic
surgery and also as one of Mr. Garman's treating
physicians.
At this point, I'll ask Mr. Brumbaugh if he has

any questions on your qualifications.
MR. BRUMBAUGH: No. I have no objection.
BY MR. HENNING:
Q Doctor, when did Theodore Garman first come
under your care?
A I first saw him in my office on November 21st,
2001.
Q What were the circumstances that caused him to
come under your care?
A He had sustained injuries in a reported motor
vehicle accident on November 11th, 2001.
Q And what injury did he present to you?
A He presented complaining of pain in his pelvis,
and on reviewing the diagnostic studies, he was diagnosed
with a pelvic fracture.
Q And you somewhat touched on this, but can you
report to us the history that he provided to you relative
to the onset of that injury?
A Yes. He was a passenger in a motor vehicle.
At the time the injury occurred, he was riding in the back
seat on the passenger side, and the impact was on the
passenger side of the car. He reportedly was extricated
from the car and taken to Carlisle Hospital where
radiographs were performed.
He was reportedly complaining of pelvic pain as

well as having the wind knocked out of him. He was
diagnosed with pelvic fracture at that time, subsequently
admitted to the Carlisle Hospital under the care of a
different orthopedist. He was not pleased with the care
that he had received and subsequently presented to my
office for follow-up care after being discharged from the
hospital.
Q As part of that initial visit, did you conduct
a physical examination?
A Yes, I did.
Q And what did that reveal?
A He had tenderness about some of the bony
prominences of his pelvis, more specifically, the ischial
tuberosity and pubic symphysis. And that correlates to
areas in his buttock and in his groin area. And those
areas of tenderness correlate to the areas on his x-ray
where he had fractures.
Q What symptoms was he expressing to you?
A He was complaining of having pain in his right
groin, his right buttock, and it was worse with
weightbearing activity. He was using axillary crutches
when he presented to my office. He was not having any
significant back pain or radicular symptoms, and his exam
were as I described. The only additional finding is he was
neurovascularly intact.

Q Doctor, to your right there's an exhibit that
we'll refer to as Fultz Number 2 that is a document that I
brought with me today to assist you in explaining to the
jury where these fractures took place.
Can you point on this anatomical view of the
pelvis and spine area where this fracture occurred?
A Right. Just to get us oriented, this is
looking straight on to a person that's facing you. So this
would be his right side, this would be his left side
(indicating). This is his spine. This is his pelvis.
These are his hip joints. You have the ball and the socket
portion of the hip. We call the socket the acetabulum.
Where he broke his pelvis was through what we
call a pubic symphysis area here. He also had what we call
a high anterior column fracture adjacent to his acetabulum
in this area.
(Photocopy of bony framework of abdomen
produced and marked as Fultz Deposition Exhibit Number 2.)
BY MR. HENNING:
Q Were the symptoms that he was presenting to you
consistent with this type of fracture?
A Yes.
Q What treatment did you provide to Mr. Garman as
of the time of the initial visit?
A For these type of injuries, as long as they do

not significantly displace, they can be treated
non-operatively. And we treated him with axillary crutches
protecting the weight on his right lower extremity. He was
advised on no pivoting, no twisting on the leg, and I kept
him off work.
He was given a prescription for some pain
medication which is an oral narcotic and was instructed to
follow up with us when he was about six to seven weeks post
injury.
Q When was the next time that you had occasion to
see Mr. Garman then for a follow-up visit?
A On December 28th, 2001.
Q What was Mr. Garman's status at that time?
A He presented not using his crutches to ambulate
which was not what I had recommended. He was still having
occasional soreness in his groin when he walked for long
periods of time.
His exam was improved in that he had only
minimal tenderness to palpation about his groin which is
where one of the fractures was located.
We did radiographs of his pelvis which showed
that the fractures were still in good alignment, and there
were some signs of early bony healing.
I had recommended him on using the axillary
crutches for an additional two weeks and then gradually

wean himself off of them in a methodical fashion as comfort
allows. And I released him to work with restrictions.
Q What restrictions did you impose upon his work
activity?
A I advised him he should be lifting less than 10
pounds, and he should be able to sit down as needed.
Q When was the next time that Theodore came to
your office for a follow-up visit?
A I saw him on January 18th, 2002. At that time
he was eight weeks out from his injury. He had weaned
himself off the crutches entirely. He had reportedly --
had been placed back to work. He was doing some prolonged
weightbearing and was having some discomfort in his
buttock. He was also having some discomfort in his groin.
X-rays were obtained of his pelvis again which
showed further signs of bony healing and no change in the
minimally displaced fracture alignment.
He was kept on work restrictions. His
weightbearing status was decreased on his right leg until
he was reevaluated.
Q What was the next time that Mr. Garman came to
your office?
A I saw him on February 12th, 2002. He was now
three months out from his injury. He reportedly was back
to light duty work and tolerating that reasonably well. He

was still having occasional achiness in his groin.
Radiographs were obtained during that visit
which showed a bony union or osseous union across the
fracture site. He had a moderate amount of callous
formation along the fractures which are a radiographic
finding consistent with bony healing.
I had discharged him to regular duty work
effective 2-12-2002, and I had advised him on a home
exercise program including stretching exercises.
I additionally had recommended an
anti-inflammatory medication on an as-needed basis for the
symptoms he was having.
Q And then moving forward in time, when was the
next occasion Theodore reported to your office for an
appointment?
A I saw him April 9th, 2002.

It was my impression at that time he was having
achiness that were being contributed by soft tissues and
not due to bony pathology. And had I recommended a course
of physical therapy for stretching, range of motion, and
strengthening exercises.
He had at that time declined therapy. He felt
his symptoms weren't severe enough to warrant that, so I
discharged him and advised him on activities as comfort
allows and to return to the office if symptoms increased.
Q In that office note and in your last narrative
there you indicated that there was callous formation noted
on the x-rays with minimal displacement.
When you refer to minimal displacement, what do
you mean by that?
A Probably 1 to 2 millimeters.
Q Is this a situation where the bones don't quite
meet up the way they had been before they were fractured?
A Correct.
Q When was the next time that Theodore came to
your office for a visit?
A His next evaluation was on 3-30-2004.
Q What symptoms and problems did he relate to you
at that time?
A He presented complaining of ongoing symptoms in
his right groin and buttock. Since his previous

evaluation, he was having ongoing achiness. He was not
taking any medications on a regular basis for those
symptoms. His pain was aggravated with heavy lifting. He
denied any low back pain or radicular symptoms which are
symptoms characteristic of nerve entrapment.
Q Now, you had not seen him for approximately two
years. There was this gap from April 9, 2002 visit to
April -- I'm sorry, March 30, 2004.
Did he relate a history to you of any treatment
that he had been undergoing in that approximate two-year
period?
A Yes. On presentation during his March 30th,
2004 visit, he presented complaining of neck pain as well.
He stated to me during that visit that he had sustained,
quote, a whiplash, end of quote, injury to his cervical
spine during that motor vehicle accident on 11-11-2001, and
he had been seeing a chiropractor periodically for this.
He stated he was having ongoing neck pain. It
was referred to his right periscapular area which is the
shoulder blade region. He did not have any radicular
symptoms into his upper extremity. Radicular symptoms are
discrete patterns of pain, numbness or weakness that would
be characteristic of a nerve being entrapped in the neck.
And he failed to have any of those symptoms.
He had no myelopathic symptoms which are

symptoms suggestive of cord compression. And he was seen
for the first time in my office for these complaints at
that visit.
Q Did you conduct a physical examination on that
visit?
A Yes, I did.
Q And what did that reveal?
A Well, examination of his cervical spine
demonstrated him to have full range of motion. He had some
mild tenderness and spasticity about his pericervical
muscles which are the muscles on the sides of his neck. He
had no sensory or motor deficits on his exam.
I examined his lower back, and he had no areas
of discreet tenderness in that location. He had some
tenderness in his right groin. He had no pain with passive
range of motion of his hips. And his lower extremities had
grossly normal sensation, motor strength, and was
vascularly intact.
Q Did you have Theodore undergo additional x-rays
at this visit?
A Yes, I did.
Q What did they reveal?
A I obtained x-rays of his pelvis looking at his
previous fractures, and these x-rays demonstrated a solid
bony union of the fractures with no change in the alignment

from the previous films.
I also obtained cervical spine x-rays, and
these demonstrated no evidence of any fracture,
dislocation, bony destruction, no evidence of any
significant foraminal stenosis on the oblique views.
Q Did the x-rays taken in March of 2004 continue
to show the displacement of the fractured bones?
A Yes.
Q What treatment did you recommend for Theodore
in March of 2004?
A I recommended an anti-inflammatory medicine
called a Medrol Dosepak. It's an oral steroid. It starts
at a high dose and tapers over a seven day time period.
And we follow it by a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
medication. And the one I selected was Voltaren.
I had also recommended physical therapy to the
areas that were causing discomfort for him, including his
cervical spine and his pelvic area which would include
modalities, range of motion, stretching, strengthening
exercises.
Q Following the March 2004 visit, when was the
next time you had occasion to treat Mr. Garman?
A I believe the last time he was seen in our
office was March 30th, 2004.

it would appear as though you saw him on December 9, 2004
for a consultation?
A I saw him for an evaluation and impairment
rating exam, okay.
Q When he reported to you for that impairment
rating evaluation on December 9, 2004, what symptoms and
problems did Mr. Garman relate to you that he was still
experiencing?
A When he presented he had given me a history
that he had been sent by -- or had been seen by
Dr. Morganstein for further evaluation of his ongoing
complaints I had seen him for in the past. He was referred
to physical therapy by Dr. Morganstein.
He was reportedly currently involved in therapy
and notes he has seen a marked improvement in his symptoms
although he was not asymptomatic.
He was reportedly involved in a stretching and
a strengthening program, and he was scheduled to follow up
with Dr. Morganstein on 12-13-04. Dr. Morganstein was
reportedly the only physician that was managing his ongoing
pelvic symptoms.
His symptoms on presentation during that exam
on December 9th, 2004, included right-sided pelvic pain.
He complained of right groin discomfort and buttock
discomfort which was aggravated by increased levels of

activity. He describes himself as having low grade
achiness that's exacerbated with high levels of activities
which would include climbing steps, stepladders,
repetitively pivoting, twisting on the right leg, and doing
heavy lifting.
He denied any lower back discomfort, and he
continued to have no radicular symptoms.
He was also complaining of achiness in his neck
referred to his right periscapular area which is again in
the shoulder blade region. He described it as tightness
and achiness. He did not complain of any radicular
symptoms into his upper extremities as previously outlined.
I reviewed with him the current medications and
treatments he was receiving. He was presently when I saw
him on December 9th, 2004 taking no medications for his
musculoskeletal complaints. He had been placed on the
Voltaren as I had previously mentioned in my testimony.
He reportedly had sustained a work-related
injury to his elbow and had been placed on Bextra for a
period of time. Bextra is also an anti-inflammatory
medication. He noted that the anti-inflammatory medication
improved his symptoms but did not resolve them.
He was involved in the therapy that I
previously discussed. He had had no injections into his
pelvis or his cervical spine. He's had the radiographs as

I previously described. And he did not have any MRI's,
bone scans, or any surgeries for his musculoskeletal
complaints.
Q Would you please summarize for us the
restrictions and instructions that you had provided to
Theodore regarding his work activities throughout the time
period that you've treated him.
A He was unemployed when he first presented to my
office on 11-21-01. He was released to light duty by me on
12-28-01 through 2-12-02. I then released him to regular
duty work on 2-12-02 until the present time when I saw him
on December 9th, 2004.
The patient noted during his last exam or
interview by me, that he did return to Round Top, his
previous employer, after being released by me. More
recently he has a full-time job at Harley-Davidson, and his
start date was 1-20-03. He was continuing to work at that
position with no restrictions.
Q Doctor, what is your medical opinion regarding
the causal relationship between the motor vehicle collision
and the resulting pelvic fracture and the pain and symptoms
Theodore has continued to experience on an ongoing basis
through to the time period of your last appointment with
Theodore?
A It's my opinion that the pelvic fracture as

well as his ongoing symptoms referable to his pelvic
fracture and adjacent soft tissues are causally related to
that motor vehicle accident on 11-11-01.
Q As of December 9, 2004 -- and am I correct that
that was the last occasion that you had to see Mr. Garman
face to face?
A That's correct.
Q What limitations did you impose upon Theodore's
activities as of that time?
A Well, I cautioned him against doing any
running, jumping, repetitive heavy lifting. And I would --
in my opinion, those would be permanent.
Q And as of that December 9, 2004 office visit,
what was your opinion relative to ongoing treatment that
Theodore needs for the pelvic injury?
A Well, I think that he'd benefit from ongoing
treatment. First, I'd recommend he finish out the physical
therapy. He was seeing improvements from those modalities
as I anticipated when I last saw him in the office.
I think he should be transitioned to a home
exercise program. These tend to give people more lasting
effects of the improvement in their discomfort. And
additionally, I recommend taking an anti-inflammatory
medication as needed for any flares of discomfort.

did you make an analysis to determine Theodore's permanent
impairment rating pursuant to the American Medical
Association's guidelines for permanent impairment ratings?
A Yes, I did.
Q And what were your conclusions?
A I categorized him with a percent of his whole
person impairment as 2 percent. The patient has a
transverse periacetabular fracture which extended into the
iliac region, as well as a pubic ramus fracture on the
right side which is what I demonstrated on that chart to
you earlier. And this would be categorized as a healed
fracture with residual displacement and signs and symptoms.
And according to the AMA guides, that's a 2
percent impairment of the whole person.
Q Doctor, what is your opinion regarding
Theodore's prognosis with regard to the pelvic fracture?
And by that I mean what problems and limitations does
Theodore face in the future?
A Well, with these type of injuries it's not
unusual for people to continue to have some achiness and
discomfort about the fracture site area with high levels of
activity. Certainly from a clinical and a radiographic
standpoint his fractures are solidly healed, but it would
not be unusual for him to continue to have some discomfort
with high levels of activity, sometimes with weather

changes. Sometimes people can get arthritic changes in the
adjacent joints. In this case, it would be the hip or the
SI joint.
Q Doctor, all the opinions that you've rendered
today, have they been rendered within a reasonable degree
of medical certainty based on your firsthand involvement
and treatment of Mr. Garman?
A Yes.
MR. HENNING: Those are all the questions I
have. I'd move for the admission of the two exhibits and
turn the floor over to Mr. Brumbaugh for cross-examination.
MR. BRUMBAUGH: Thank you.
CROSS-EXAMINATION
BY MR. BRUMBAUGH:
Q Dr. Fultz, my name is Tom Brumbaugh. I
represent Larry Morrison in the lawsuit that he has filed.
I do have some questions for you.
Throughout your testimony you have been
referring to a document or reading a document, is that
correct?
A Yes.
Q What is that document?
A That document is the report that I completed at
Mr. Garman's last evaluation by me for the impairment
rating that was December 9th, 2004.

Q other than referring to the document, do you
have any independent recollection of the treatment that was
rendered to Mr. Garman and his injuries?
A Actually I do recall the individual and the
general treatment and outcomes with him, yes.
Q Do you know Mr. Garman other than as a patient
here?
A No.
Q Explain to me how a patient's history is taken?
A Patient's history taken by me interviewing the
patient, generally asking them specific questions.
Q And then how is the history recorded?
A After I take the history or while I'm taking
the history, oftentimes I may take cursory notes while I'm
in the room examining the patient and getting the history,
and then generally when I leave the room, then I will
dictate an office note that incorporates all the facts that
I obtained, both the history, the physical exam.
When I first see a patient, we also review past
medical history, previous hospitalizations, surgeries,
medical illnesses. Those type of things are incorporated

Q Do you record that history immediately after
seeing that patient or at the end of the day?

patient. Some circumstances it may be done later on in the
day. But in my practice it's usually done within 20
minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, something like that.
Q Is there any reason why you would not record a
patient's complaints of pain accurately?
A None that I can think of.
Q So if a patient was reporting pain, that he was
in pain, you would have that in your notes?
A Yes.
Q I believe you testified earlier that the first
time that you saw Mr. Garman was November 21st, 2001?
A Yes.
Q And then the second time was December 28th,
2001?
A That's correct.
Q Okay. And when he returned, he was not using
the crutches that you had recommended that he use?
A That's correct.
Q What about his medications, was he taking any
pain medications at that time?
A He had weaned himself off the pain medication
to a large extent.
Q And at that time you had released him to return
to light duty work?
A Yes.

Q Next office visit that you testified about I
believe was January 18th, 2002?
A Yes.
Q Did you see him on that date?
A He was seen by our physician assistant.
Q And that's Mark Rupert?
A Yes.
Q What is a physicians assistant?
A He is a person has that undergone additional
training and education to get certified as a physician
assistant. Mark Rupert was a physician assistant that has
some subspecialization in orthopedics.
Q Would he take a patient history the same way
that did you?
A Yes.
Q In his report, he refers to very deep
palpation. What is that?
A That's when he's pushing on whatever area he's
describing.
Q Does he indicate whether or not he produced
pain as a result of that palpation?
A He noted with very deep palpation, I was un --
I was able to adequately palpate the pelvis and did not
note any significant discomfort during this exam. Patient
does have some mild tenderness over the greater

trochanteric area on the right side, has adequate hip
flexion, extension, as well as internal and external
rotation.
Q What would very deep palpation be?
A Deep palpation as I interpret from his note is
that he pushed into the buttock area which has a large mass
of muscle there, your gluteal muscles, to try to push deep
enough that he could feel the bony architecture.
Q And that wasn't producing discomfort at that
time?
A According to his note, no.
Q Would it generally produce discomfort?
A On a healing fracture, as they heal they should
get less tender. So the reason why we examine fractures in
that manner is we're looking for signs of clinical healing.
So if people come back and they have pelvic
fractures that are having pain with weightbearing activity,
we would palpate the fractures to see if it reproduces
their symptoms. We'd range the motion of their hip because
that can torque the fracture to see if they're having any
pain associated with that.
If the pain is not reproduced with palpation or
with movement of the hip and the x-rays are showing signs
of bony healing, then the pain may be coming from other
25 I areas.

Q The next time that you saw Mr. Garman, that was
February 12th, 2002?
A That's correct.
Q Was he taking any pain medication at that time?
A He was not requiring any analgesic medications
on a regular basis at that time.
Q And analgesic medication, is that --
A Pain medicines, yeah.
Q Was he having any back pain at that time?
A No.
Q Did he tell you that he was not having any back
pain at that time?
A Yes. When it's reflected in my note, that
means I specifically asked him that question.
Q Now, your report also indicates that he does
not appear to be in any acute distress. What does that
mean?
A It means when you are examining a patient, you
try to get a feeling for how uncomfortable they are. If
somebody comes in with an acute fracture, they may be
tearful, they may be protecting the arm, that type of
thing.
People have lumbar spine pathology which is
oftentimes aggravated by sitting. They'll get up, they'll
change their position frequently, that type of thing.

In his situation on February 12th, 2002, he
didn't exhibit any of those signs.
Q Okay. And did you release him to return to
work with no restriction?
A I released him to regular duty work effective
2-12-2002.
Q Did you place any restrictions on his ability
to work?
A No, I did not.
Q I believe the next time that you saw Mr. Garman
was April 9th, 2002?
A That's correct.
Q Okay. And at that time had he resumed his
normal daily activity?
A I note he was doing his normal daily activities
but was having difficulty returning to his Ski Round Top
position, and he was having discomfort with heavy lifting.
Q Did you find any objective reasons for that
discomfort?
A I was unable to find any areas of discrete
tenderness, and he wasn't having any pain with range of
motion of his hip.
Q So did you find any reason for his ongoing
complaints?
A I had an opinion that his pain was soft tissue

in etiology and not related to the fracture not being
healed. And that was the reason why I offered him physical
therapy.
Q Between April 9th, 2002 and March 30th, 2004,
do you have any idea of Mr. Garman's activities throughout
that period?
A No.
Q Do you know whether he was working?
A I do not have any medical record documentation
as to whether he was employed. When I did the impairment
rating examination, the history I obtained from him that he
had returned to Round Top, his previous employer, after
being released by me, and then more recently he had gotten
a different full-time job.
Q The next time that you saw him was March 30th,
2004?
A That's correct.
Q Now, for his visit on March 30th, 2004, I've
been provided with copies of two separate reports, both
with different account numbers for Mr. Garman as well as
different addresses for Mr. Garman.
Why would there be two different reports?
A There would be two different reports because
that the pelvis and neck were reported to us as being
associated with the motor vehicle accident and the shoulder

was not. So it would be two different insurance carriers.
So the medical records get submitted separately to the
respective insurance carriers as I understand.
Q When was the first time that he complained to
you of having pain in his neck?
A That was March 30th, 2004.
Q Okay. So all the treatments prior to that he
had not complained of neck pain to you?
A That's correct.
Q And I believe you had testified you were not
able to state with a reasonable degree of medical certainty
that his neck injury is related to this accident?
A That's correct.
Q You had also mentioned that you had given him a
prescription on March 30th, 2004?
A Yes. Medrol Dosepak.
Q Was that for his pelvis?
A That was actually for both areas, his pelvis
and his neck, to quiet down the inflammation in both areas.
Q Do you have any knowledge of the effect of
Mr. Garman's injury on his ability to perform his daily
activities now?
A As of today, no.
Q Do you have any knowledge of the effect of the
injury on Mr. Garman's ability to go deer hunting or

pheasant hunting?
A I haven't examined him since 2004. When I saw
him in 2004, he would probably have difficulty walking
uneven terrain, climbing on rocks and things like that to
go hunting.
Q Would he still be able to do it?
A Probably with discomfort.
Q As we sit here today, do you know with a
reasonable degree of medical certainty whether Mr. Garman
requires future treatment for his pelvic fracture?
A I can't say that he is definitely going to need
ongoing treatment, but there's a high probability he's
going to have ongoing symptoms and need further treatment.
Not necessarily surgically or invasive, but probably an
anti-inflammatory medicine as needed and do a home program
of exercises.
Q Do you know for sure whether or not he is going
to need that future treatment?
A I can't say with a hundred degree percent
certainty, but with a reasonable degree of medical
certainty I think he will because at my last evaluation he
was having ongoing symptoms, and that far out from that
type of injury, if you're having ongoing symptoms it's very
likely that they're going to continue to have ongoing
symptoms that can likely be managed with the exercises and

anti-inflammatory medicines.
Q And I believe you described these ongoing
symptoms as an achiness, soreness?
A And increased pain with high levels of activity
and heavy lifting.
MR. BRUMBAUGH: Thank you. That's all my
questions.
MR. HENNING: Doctor, just a very few
follow-ups.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. HENNING:
Q I just want to focus first on the January 18,
2002 office visit. Attorney Brumbaugh asked you some
questions about that visit.
Am I correct that when Mr. Garman reported to
you to the office on that date under chief complaint it
says I am having a lot of pain since Dr. Fultz put me back
to work?
A That's correct.
Q And then in the body of that office note, am I
correct that it refers to some of his work activities
utilizing a cleaning machine on floors?
A That's correct.
Q And did he indicate that that task and being on
his feet doing that task was causing him increasing

discomfort and pain?
A He claimed that the job that he was doing
aggravated his symptoms.
Q As part of the recommendations at that visit,
was he advised or restricted not to use the cleaning
machine on the floors?
A He was put back to full-time work with the
restrictions that he shouldn't be using the floor cleaning
machine for long periods of time.
Q Does the note also indicate that he will
largely be non-weightbearing until he follows up with
Dr. Fultz?
A That's correct.
Q Just one point of clarification in terms of
medical terminology.
In that office note and in your response to
Attorney Brumbaugh's questions, you referred to the greater
trochanter. Can you explain to the jury what that is and
where it is in the body?
A Yeah. It's on the outside of the hip. And to
reference your chart again, that would be in this area
right here (indicating).
People oftentimes with symptoms in that area if
they're limping, they're not walking normally, because in
that area is where your major hip muscles come down and

So it wasn't where the fractures were located,
but he was getting pain along the lateral aspect of his
hip.
Q In your medical opinion, the pain in that area,
is that causally related to and consistent with the
fractures that he sustained in his pelvis?
A Yes, I think they're all interrelated.
Q Now, on that same vein and moving over to the
April 9, 2002 note, you were talking about the healing of
the bony fractures and indicated that you thought his --
the achiness in his buttock and groin was soft tissue in
etiology.
When you used the phrase soft tissue, first of
all, what are you referring to when you say soft tissue?
A Muscles, tendons.
Q And when you say it's soft tissue in etiology,
are you indicating that that is all connected and related
to these fractures or is it some wholly different thing?
A I think it's all related. When a person has a
fracture such as Mr. Garman had and he was on crutches for
a while and he has limited motion and activities with the
hip, and then you start weightbearing him even after the
fracture is healed, they'll oftentimes have soft tissue
soreness and tightness. Those muscles haven't been used

for a while, they contract, they get tight, and they get
set up for tendonitis and inflammation.
And that's why I had recommended physical
therapy to try to work on stretching exercises. And, in
fact, I believe once he attended physical therapy which I
believe was outlined by Dr. Morganstein, it did help his
symptoms.
MR. HENNING: Those are all the questions I
MR. BRUMBAUGH: No further questions.

I was involved in developing a radiommunoassay and column separation
procedure for 6-Keto PGF1 cc -- an important metabolite of prostaglandin
synthesis. My work included a thorough statistical evaluation of the
methodology. Data reduction was performed on a Hewlett Packard 9831A basic
computer. A paper including this evaluation was presented for textbook
publication. Other experiences in radiommunoassay analysis include important
clinical tests such as gastrin, insulin and ferritin. I also became familiar with the
proper handling of radioisotopes and radiation counting equipment.
