Physicians frequently receive questionable discovery requests. These may
concern patients or the physicians' personal affairs. A physician who does not
believe that the request is proper may ask his or her attorney about quashing
it. The judge may quash it--rule that the request need not be complied
with--or, more commonly, modify the request to limit the information that is
provided.
