I actually had a fall in January 2008 at my place of employment. My knee still hurts and the MRI revealed I had some degeneration, I was told I just need to lose some weight by the company assigned Dr. I was also forced to use FMLA hours which are for a chronic illness and wasn't paid for Doctor's appointments that were not scheduled within 2 hours at the end of my working shift. Those hours were also added to FMLA. I was under the impression that FMLA and workers's compensation were two different things. That is awful.

What is the most sickening thing is that you have to fight with an insurance company over who the treating physician is ! Meanwhile the Claimant/Patient suffers ! Obsurd !! Don't they have the right to medical care NOW ? Not after, you have this long drawn out fight which could normally takes 3 months to get to court to end the fight !? Then the Decision, depending on the level of legal haggling going on with the Judge and all of the forces that make him go to the right or to the left to come up with his opin. This maybe a month.. Ok im tired ! Goodnite Pro Se Doctor take a conservative approach ??! That's a joke !!(conservative approach) There so blatant it's not funny! Example: ABC neurologist Saint Joseph Hospital , Cape Town Medical School South Africa grad 1967 conservative or does he base his opinions on a Kinsmanship or Sect with the Lawyer involved ? The Board has declared him Omniscent he can look threw your body and tell you that there is absolutely positively nothing wrong with you from a neurological point of view with out taking one test! Is that conservative, blatant arrogance or just plain stupidity ? Let me put it like this he doesn't need a MRI,CAT scan nothing to make a opinion just his two eyes ! I know INCREDIBLE huh ?! Example Doctor XYZ has a patient for an IME by employer/insure .Claimant hurt himself working for Coca Cola ! What that patient doesn't know is that this doctor is backed by Coca Cola !This patience is DOOMED ! Doctors have even called patience Malinger . Is this liable or slander ? Yes ! Will most WC lawyer address other injustices that arise out of your workman comp case such as this Labeling ? Maybe ! I've see where the Defense Lawyers write the Doctors opinion and have the doctor put his letter head on the top of the report sign it and ship it out! Of course you don't believe !
