An paralegal called about a gynecologist’s failure to diagnose cervical cancer. Her attorney told her to get a gynecologist and planned to retain an (medical) oncologist for causation/damages if the gynecologist opined positively.

Unfortunately, most attorneys don’t know about the field of gynecologic oncology. A gynecologic oncologist treats such cancers, specifically surgically, and coordinates the care by other specialists. Retaining this single expert avoided having to retain multiple experts.
