So with regard to payments, this is gets down

0:02

to the nitty gritty, but basically most radiologists

0:05

that I've experienced

0:06

and listened to their depositions charge somewhere

0:09

between 300 to $700 per hour.

0:12

At trial. They'll charge either a day rate for the time, uh,

0:16

somewhere between 3000 to 5,000.

0:18

You'll find experts that will charge more,

0:20

you'll find experts that will charge less.

0:22

In general, I think that we as radiologists are sort

0:25

of in the midpoint here.

0:27

Uh, certainly, uh, I know that Kelly has had, uh, surgeons,

0:31

for example, that charge a lot more than these rates.

0:34

Uh, so it does vary, vary, um,

0:38

and you can, you know, it's acceptable to take payments

0:41

as opposed to directing the legal firm to make a donation

0:45

to, for example, for patient advocacy or a CR.

0:48

It's up to you.
