Heading: Dr. Larry Fisher

Text: 11 During trial, Dr. Fisher was permitted to testify that the defendants did not breach the appropriate standard of care while treating Timothy Perry. Dr. Fisher was initially listed as an expert witness for St. Anthony Hospital Systems in its September 21, 1981, Pretrial Statement. His expected testimony was described to include his examination, care and treatment of Mr. Perry as well as his knowledge of the accepted standard of care for the treatment and care of chemical burns. Appellants concede that they had anticipated calling Dr. Fisher to testify about the infection in Timothy Perry's legs. Dr. Fisher was later listed as a witness in the May 9, 1983, Amended Pretrial Order, and appellees advised appellants of their intention to call Dr. Fisher by letter dated April 29, 1983. Appellants had ample opportunity to prepare for Dr. Fisher's testimony and were not prejudiced by the district court's ruling allowing such testimony.
