The doctor should acquire the habit of making a careful note
of all the facts observed by him. Vagueness and theory have no place in legal
medicine. He should examine the facts that come to his knowledge in his special
capacity, draw his conclusions logically and correctly after a detailed
consideration of the pros and cons of the case, and indicate to the Court that
interpretation, along with the grounds on which it is based. Presumption is not
proof and conjecture is not evidence. The Court has no special medical
knowledge. It relies on medical witness for an opinion and expects him to
assist it with his special knowledge and experience in perusal of truth.
