  1. this same exact thing happened to me last month.  I was PISSED when I left the exam.  the NP was already late by 20 minutes when she came out to the waiting room and with me there she went on to have a 20 minute discussion with a recruiter of the VA hospital, apparently trying to get a full time position.  we go back, I sit down with both knees out straight.  I have 2 30's on my right knee and was trying to get an increase on my left SC knee.  she grabbed my knees bent them back as far as she could and I said, "that really, really hurt.  please don't do that again."  that was ignored and she did it to my right knee.  at that point I wanted to leave (probably should have).  she looked at me and said, "you have 90 degree right there."  I told her that at this position I am in extreme pain.  she didn't even blink.  I told her that in my 20 years of being in the VA system nobody has ever done a ROM test like that.  Usually it is done standing up and with a measuring device.  she stated that well, I do it differently.  when I left I knew it wouldn't go in my favor and 7 days later I got the denial.  I was SO happy they didn't reduce my right knee disability.
