Two weeks ago I have a visit with a neuroligist about migraines. He also examined my feet because of no sensation in my toes. I requested the clinic notes and noticed he said wrote down several things that did not take place and if the RO seen them it might question the severity of one of my disabilities which I am rated at 100% loss of use.
I sent a letter directly to the doctor with a copy of the clinic report (the examiner in question is a resident and not a Dr) I highlighted the areas of issue and ask that they be removed, because it did not take place and I enclosed a self-addressed envelope for him to send me a copy of the corrected report.
I do not know if he will or will not do it, if he will not do it I will send a copy of the sent letter and clinic report and file a complaint with the patient's advocate office.
I have made a decision that I will never see again a specialist at the VA ( I have medicare). I see my primiary VA Dr once a year at a nearby clinic.
What do you guys think of writing the letter to the resident? was that you feel a good move?

Greetings to all,

God bless you all.
