UJI 13-205. Patient's history as told to doctor.
A medical witness may testify about statements concerning a person’s medical
history and condition that were made for purposes of diagnosis or treatment. [Such
statements are not evidence of their own truth, but they may be considered to show the
information upon which the witness’s diagnosis or medical opinion was based.] To
whatever extent the opinion of the witness is based upon such statements, you may
consider the trustworthiness of the statements in determining the weight to be given to
the witness’s opinion.
