Opinion
May 6, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Clemente, J.).
Order affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
Under the circumstances, the report of the physical examination of the plaintiff conducted by defendants' examining physician does not need to set forth the etiology of plaintiff's injuries and physical condition and causal connection in order to allow said physician to testify thereto at trial. This examining physician was retained by defendants solely for the purpose of updating their information as to the plaintiff's condition as of the date of the examination. Further, no prior medical history, medical records or recent X rays were made available to the examining physician to enable him to make any such determination at that time. Titone, J.P., Mangano, Weinstein and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
