How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that even though the factual basis for psychiatrist’s diagnosis had been discredited, the diagnosis could not be removed because the doctor did not rely exclusively on the erroneous facts
• rejecting amendment claim because plaintiff could not demonstrate that psychiatrist “reified] exclusively on the discredited social history when diagnosing plaintiff’s condition”
• “Where matters of professional judgment such as this are concerned, and the factual predicates for such opinions are diverse, it is next to impossible to reconstruct the process by which the opinion was formulated and determine what the opinion would have been.”
