Moments worth a second look

Ranked: answers that stopped being answers first, then the evasions.
Q. Is a systolic reading of 84 a hypotensive episode on your definition?A. I can't speak to how any particular practitioner would characterize a single isolated reading without knowing the full context in which that reading was obtained and what else was happening with the patient at that moment in time.
Non-answer
38 words that never touch the question — and it ends in an evasion. This is where the follow-up lived.
page 15, line 6
Q. Were you aware that the intake notes record a prior cardiac event two years before the surgery?A. I was aware of the general history as it was conveyed to me through various materials and conversations, and my understanding of the patient's background is that it was complex and multifactorial, which is reflected throughout my report and the conclusions that I reached after careful consideration of everything available.
Non-answer
50 words that never touch the question. This is where the follow-up lived.
page 13, line 5
Q. Doctor, did you review the emergency room intake notes before you formed your causation opinion in this case?A. I reviewed a substantial number of records in the ordinary course of my work as a consultant in these matters, and I always make a point of being thorough with whatever is provided to me by counsel, because my practice is to consider the complete clinical picture before rendering any opinion that I know will be relied upon.
Non-answer
58 words that never touch the question. This is where the follow-up lived.
page 12, line 4
Q. Did the nursing notes from the first night document three hypotensive episodes?A. To the best of my recollection, there were notations in the chart concerning blood pressure readings during that period, yes.
Evasive answer
“To the best of my recollection” — the door to a clean admission was open here.
page 15, line 1
Q. My question was narrower. Did you read the ER intake notes?A. I don't have an independent recollection of that specific document as I sit here today.
Evasive answer
“I don't have an independent recollection” — the door to a clean admission was open here.
