If you break your arm and your family physician explains what it indicates in the x-ray, are you going to argue he isn't a trained "radiologist" and incapable of making such an interpretation? Incapable of rendering an opinion of what he sees after seeing 1000's of the same previously?

I know what you mean, and I almost agree with you. The problem I have with this case is that Dr. Maxfield was a trained radiologist and his testimony was discounted by the courts because he was not a "trained" neurologist.
