During an Examination Under Oath (EUO), when are you typically not in the presence of the plaintiff?

The situation where you are typically not in the presence of the plaintiff during an Examination Under Oath (EUO) pertains to when the plaintiff is undergoing medical procedures such as an X-ray, MRI, or another test. In these instances, the plaintiff is occupied with their medical care, which inherently prevents the presence of others, including you as an electronic reporter. These medical examinations require the plaintiff's full attention and cooperation with healthcare providers, making it impractical for an observer to be present during the actual procedure.

Other circumstances, such as a request from the doctor or the attorney, might lead to temporary absences, but generally, these situations are more variable and depend on the specific context of the appointment or proceedings. In contrast, when the plaintiff is undergoing tests, it's a definitive reason for separation, and you would be required to wait until they are finished.
