Can the defense's medical expert be used as the plaintiff's expert witness in a medical malpractice case?

No that's a conflict of interest. what he says is going to be good only for one side, he would have to contradict himself to be good for both sides. Which would make him not very credible.

usually the plaintif has to provide their own but the plaintiffs atorney can get him in cross examination
