A crusty little gnome just handed me a subpoena in my office in front of patients and employees. Nice touch.

Malpractice? Nah... An old patient is suing her home builder for a mold issue (construction defect.) I am required to lose an entire days work at no pay to testify. Here's the catch. I have never treated this patient for any mold related illness, nor was I ever made aware that there were any health issues at all! I am not an infectious disease specialist or a home construction expert. I simply cared for the patient in an UNRELATED matter many years before.

I called the lawyer whose name appeared at the top of the subpoena and was connected to a paralegal who admitted, "Yeah, we got kind of rushed on this case so we didn't really get a chance to review the medical records, so... we just sent a subpoena to every doctor the plaintiff has seen in the past 10 years. We have the right to do that, you know. So we'll see you on the 10th."

The hell you will.
