摘要：
A doctor's personal credibility is the paramount factor in achieving success when testifying, especially as a defendant. Factors that aid credibility include a natural manner, sincerity, confidence, clarity and composure. Being argumentative, defensive, smug, flamboyant, or nervous undermines credibility. The authors offer advice to enhance the ophthalmologist's success in testifying.
