Description
Connelly alleged that the negligent diagnosis of her gastrointestinal disorder by Kortz led to her having to undergo unnecessary surgery. To establish the negligence of Kortz, a surgeon, Connelly offered Robert D. McCartney, M.D., a physician of internal medicine, as an expert in internal medicine and in the standards of practice applicable to general surgeons in the Denver metropolitan area for indicating the need for surgery. The trial court, in restricting his testimony to internal medicine, ruled that he could testify to the proper indications for surgery of an internist but not those of a surgeon.
