When looking for an expert witness, attorneys often go through a strenuous selection process. Selection of an expert witness often directly correlates with the ultimate outcome of a jury trial. Consequently, when seeking an expert witness in a case involving surgery, many attorneys look for experience. Others may look for a doctor who has a reputation for being "good with a knife." While I have never met Ted Eisenberg, M.D., I suspect that he meets both criteria.
Fro example, Dr. Eisenberg, holds the record for the most breast surgeries performed in a lifetime.

This Philadelphia plastic surgeon apparently has a very good reputation for breast augmentations. According to Guinness, Eisenberg's 3,460 official surgeries is a world record. (Eisenberg actually claims that he has performed more than 4,700 augmentations in his career.) The surgeon sees patients primarily at 2375 Woodward St and at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia. While the surgical numbers are impressive, Dr. Eisenberg is also a competitive tomahawk and hunting knife thrower. He competes in competitions in many different states. The doctor's hand eye coordination that apparently serves him well in the operating room also serves him well in the competitions.
With this surgeon's experience, one suspects that this doctor would be a "cutting edge expert witness" in any malpractice or personal injury trial. Prior to hiring any expert, an attorney typically interviews the expert and sometimes asks to see some of his work. In breast augmentation cases, the expert's experience with scarring and disfigurement may be crucial.

Update 3-22-11: Do expert's who entertain in their spare time not fill your entertainment needs? It is no wonder, given how t.v. shows are taking real life legal matters and turning them into dramatic television shows. Our friends at criminal justice recently explore the top ten television shows that copied real life events. CRIMINAL JUSTICE LINK.
Update 3-23-11: Speaking of the interrelationship between law and entertainment, Tom Hanks is in the news. Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are suing their former insurance agency. Apparently the plaintiff's are alleging that they were overcharged by the J.B. Goldman Insurance Agency. The couple allegedly used the company for over 20 years for their insurance needs. A new broker apparently told the couple that they were overcharged and had duplicate coverage. (Allegedly insured multiple times for the same things.)
Keep in mind, J.B. Goldman Insurance Agency has a presumption of innocence and it is the plaintiff's burden to prove these allegations..

This is a good doc!
I can't figure out if this is an ad for a doctor or for competitive throwing knives.
Interesting topic. Does body of work exam include looking at begore and after photos of breasts? If it does, I am all in.

I agree, was expecting a case related to him.
I thought it was a funny way to tell a story of how attorneys hire experts.
A good expert can cut the opponents case to shreds!

No doubt Nancy Grace writers and others must read Legal Pub for inspiration.
But I like it best when comedians stop by and try out their material. It is usually a hoot!

Figured those law and order shows were inspired by real life.
