Compensation Exam Experience

Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

Result of rereading very old exams and decisions, found some notes to self because I felt the exam was manipulative and recorded selective comments.

Throughout the exam doctor spoke in varying speeds. Example, when doc was physically examining knees, control of conversation was done by speed, slow or fast like rapid speak delaying feedback from me the slow thinking patient, until 20 questions were asked.

The report reports some things and not everything said 'veteran says they leans on right leg when left leg and ankle swells' and doesn't mention the pain I of SC right leg. True, the right leg is SC already the left leg is not even rated NSC but needs to be. Note to self, next exam request doctor with accent repeat or slow down so questions can be answered fairly not on a race track; specify SC leg issues cause dependence on other leg (think secondary condition).

During my exam I discussed medications. The report states 'veteran takes motrin for pain'. Note to self, next exam specifiy medication prescribed by provider'
