North Carolina FELA lawyer Rick Shapiro talked about his strategy when representing a railroad worker who has been stricken with the terrible lung cancer, mesothelioma. Many lawyers call on oncologists to testify for the rail worker, but Rick also calls on the nurse who administered chemotherapy to the worker. This is because the nurse probably has the ability to better explain the rail worker's story and the difficulties associated with going through a round of chemotherapy treatment.
