We talk today about the business aspect of being a medical expert. How do we end up on the list, do we really need to take a course first, why is it important to have a retainer (and why lawyers need a retainer to write your retainer), and how to set our fees. This interview was full of brass tacks advice and will likely be the first of many with Dan.
