Clair v. Glades County Board of County Commissioners
635 So.2d 84
A physician licensed under one statute may testify
regarding the reasonableness and necessity of treatment
by a physician licensed under another statute provided
the testifying physician is, based on training and
experience, competent to render an expert opinion
concerning treatment for the illness or injury under
review. In this case, a neurosurgeon and orthopedic
surgeon testified as to the need for further
chiropractic care. The neurosurgeon testified that he
had sufficient knowledge about chiropractic care to
render an opinion as to whether such treatment would
help or harm the claimant. Accordingly, his testimony
deemed admissible.
