There is always a danger that they get overwhelmed. I think the lesson really is a lesson to the trial team, whether it's plaintiff or attorney. I think everybody on both trial teams has to recognize, look, this is a lot of work we're asking these jurors to do.

Dr. Chopra, interestingly, has demonstrated that he understands that very well. He faces the jury. He addresses them directly. He makes jokes. He's sort of lighthearted about the number of medical records he's looked through. He's connected very well with them.

I think what we know is that there are MDs out there who are of that camp and who are I won't say we'll issue a made-to-order opinion, but are very amenable to moms, typically moms, who make this sort of complaint of some exotic illness.
