Witness prep is one thing. "I've read your reports and I'm going to expect you to answer this way." "If I misunderstood your report I expect you to tell the truth, and please create a supplemental to clarify the earlier reports."
One of the favorite witness prep techniques is to say "I'm sorry, I don't have time to prepare you, just answer the questions and tell the truth." Which is used to embarrass someone known for insinuating wrongdoing in witness prep.
Talking to a lawyer before testifying is normal. Being given a full script is not.

Always enjoy your work. Thanks
Yeah, having a script before going to court? Not cool.
