Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 2.4-2
Use of Medical Records
In this case, some of the medical evidence has been presented by doctors who testified, and some
has been presented in the form of written reports by doctors who treated the plaintiff. There is a
statute that provides that such written reports may be used in court. That statute was enacted so
that persons claiming injury would not have to take doctors away from their medical duties in
order to testify in court. Since the use of reports rather than testimony in court is permitted by
this statute, you should not draw any unfavorable inference from the plaintiff’s use of reports
rather than live testimony of some medical practitioners.
