I saw a shrink at my VAMC in 1972. I went back in 2003 and he was still there. He was about 120 years old and still misdiagnosing patients. He retired and they hired him back as a consultant. I think this is what they do with C&P doctors. They are incompetent to do medical procedures but they can still do an exam any way the VA wants them to do it.

You can call and ask for C&P office at your VAMC and see who the Doc is. They will tell you.

I sent in an IMO from my family doctor and an complete medical evaluation from a orthopedic doctor who sent me for two kinds of MRI's, then read the results ..they both had opinions at around 30-40% each side.. that is honestly allot more like what I' deal with every day..i don't know what to expect .but a low balled new percentage.......someday.... not easy dealing with two bad shoulders.. makes tucking in your shirt difficult.. lol.. crazy.. but true..

they employ C n P DOCS that do things their way...and hold on to them forever..

Took The CnP exam this morning . I think it went good ..I brought a bag with all my stuff in it for my shoulders .Including Meds slings supports and braces..I sat down and told the examinier about my last visit at the Buffalo VAMC where and when they ripped the tendon on the left side,doing the exam ..The examimer was carefull and considerate with me ..asked me how it effected my life, job and daily activity's and the person whom did it was not confused.He even wrote down that I deal with dislocations and wear a brace I think it went well and I stand a good chance of getting a Fair rating on my Shoulders.. I was Prepared and had what I needed and the Wife was there also.After having two other CnP exams and being here on hadit it was a walk in the park.. Now We wait and see how the VARO handles the results . Macool ;)
