I'm Greg Kane, MD, an internist, medical malpractice consultant, and medical expert witness broker in metro Denver, Colorado. At my day job I get calls from defense attorneys looking for a doctor to counter SFST evidence, usually a neurologist to explain nystagmus. Too often these cases involve drivers who failed an SFST, had a BAC of zero, and are now charged with driving while intoxicated by, say, a therapeutic level of some benign medicine prescribed by their own doctor. The government's reasoning: They failed an SFST, they must have been impaired. The government's reasoning is junk science. Because we doctors are trained in the mathematics of the meaning of imprecise physical tests, I happen to know how the scientific SFST's results are correctly interpreted scientifically—and it ain't how the NHTSA and the DUI bar do it.
