BY MR. GOMEZ:<\/p>\n
Q. Mr. Kransky, if you could lean forward so we can hear you real well, that would be helpful. How did it feel to walk up there and walk up those steps to take your seat here today?<\/p>\n
A. Very good.<\/p>\n
Q. Was there a long period of time where you couldn\u2019t do that?<\/p>\n
A. A very long period of time. About five years.<\/p>\n
Q. And what about in terms of being able to walk into the door of the courthouse and sit down every day, was there a period of time when you had that ASR in that you couldn\u2019t do that?<\/p>\n
THE WITNESS: Yes.<\/p>\n
BY MR. GOMEZ: Q. Does it feel good to be able to do that again?<\/p>\n
A. Yes. Absolutely.<\/p>\n
Q. Thank you.<\/p>\n
– Mr. Kransky testified about his background, his work experience, the pain he has experienced as a result of the ASR hip implanted in his body and how that has affected him. \u00a0Mr. Zellers for Defendants then cross-examined Mr. Kransky regarding his health conditions.<\/p>\n
Following Mr. Kransky\u2019s testimony, counsel introduced excerpts of the video deposition of Paul Arnott. \u00a0Mr. Arnott is a complaint and vigilance manager for DePuy.<\/p>\n
Next, Plaintiff\u2019s counsel called to the stand Peter Forumuzis, Ph.D.. \u00a0Peter Formuzis is not a medical doctor, he has a Ph.D. in economics. \u00a0Dr. Formuzi has testified as an expert in various states and gives his opinions about economics and the financial condition of large corporations. \u00a0Dr. Formuzi testified on \u00a0behalf of the Plaintiff Loren Kransky and has testified almost exclusively for plaintiffs, one reason being defendants don\u2019t typically bring in an expert to discuss their own financial condition.<\/p>\n
