Good Morning
Please let me know your opinion. The doctor pretty much followed Ms. Berta's outline for IMOs'. I just have a few questions. Here is some of the IMO. I think he did pretty good--I am just concerned with the below.
Mr. _____ was in a prothrombotic state at the time of his death. The laboratory evaluation revealed a diagnosis of one of the antiphospholipid antibody syndromes, "as likely as not" due to his inservice treatment with (INH) as a treatment for a conversion to a positive TB skin test. This would be classified as an acquired hypercoagulable state. It is possible that the veteran also had an occult hereditary thrombophilia. It is my opinion that "as likely as not," Mr. Bassett experienced his morbdty and ultimate morality secondary to an acquired prothrombotic state superimposed on some undiagnosed primary hereditary thrombophilia.
Question
Will the part in italized mess me up?
It is a 12 page IMO with articles he has attached with in the IMO for support.
Does he have to mentioned he read the c-file? I did not request one from the VA, but I had all the info already.
He says The purpose of this report is to review the medical records including miltary and post-discharge records to determine whether his widow is entitled to DIC.
After that he list his qualifications--reference both military and VA records, he puts some articles to support his conclusion and the discussion
"As likely as not" Mr. ______ death was secondary to a hypercoagulable state that originated from a service-related disease. The veteran was treated with INH for 6 months while in the service disease, due to the conversion of his TB skin test to positive. It is well established that INH has been related to the development of antiphospholipid antibody syndromes which is associated wth an increased tendency for blood to clot in both veins and arteries.
(He continues with more, but just wanted to give you a brief overview.)
Question:
First, what do you think?
Also since he has input articles within the body, do I still need to sendy any.
Thanks again
