Abstract
In part 1 of this discussion, which appeared in this department last month, the need for impartial medical testimony was discussed from the viewpoint of the physician, the insurance carrier and the industrialist. Several states have instituted plans to improve the role of the medical witness and to expedite the outcome of personal injury cases. The following outlines of two of these plans were presented at the Conference on Costs of Personal Injuries, sponsored by the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry and the Medical Directors Club in Chicago.
