ORDER GRANTING IN PART DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO AMEND PRETRIAL ORDER TO SUBSTITUTE DR. GEORGE WILSON AS DEFENDANT'S MEDICAL EXPERT AT TRIAL
Now before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Amend Pretrial Order to Substitute Dr. George Wilson as Defendants' Medical Expert at Trial. (Dkt. No. 58).
Having considered Defendants' Motion, the Court GRANTS IN PART the Motion to the extent that it specifically limits Dr. Wilson's anticipated testimony to his treatment of Plaintiff and Plaintiff's medical records while he was an inmate at the Wayne County Jail. More specifically, like Plaintiff's expected medical witnesses, Dr. Wilson may testify about his diagnosis and treatment of Plaintiff's condition. He may not render expert opinions outside the scope of his diagnosis and treatment as reflected in the medical records. See Fielden v. CSX Transportation, Inc., 482 F.3d 866, 870-71 (6th Cir. 2007). But where causation testimony is based on facts within the scope of Plaintiff's treatment, such testimony will be permitted. Id.
