Question
63Charlie
Exams performed by QTC.
Checked my ankles' range of movement.
No goniometer was used to check the ROM.
The examiner wanted to know the etiology/symptomology.
Next comes the facial scars/disfigurement examination.
Failed to take scar measurements and concluded the exam.
Mentioned that he saw facial scarring noted in my service medical records,
I have several, large, disfiguring scars from chronic cystic acne on my face and neck. Was diagnosed, treated, and scars noted in my service medical records.
Examiner didn't even so much as touch my skin.
The examiner left the room after telling me they were taking some pictures of my scars.
I told the person taking the pics that the examiner needs to come back and measure the scars.
The examiner came back in and I asked him, "Why didn't you measure my scars?"
He told me that the pictures will show the RO what he needs.
Without measurements of scars being done by an examiner, how can scars be properly rated?

63Charlie: You can "google" the VA Examination Guide to get a sense of the correct way to perform a CP examination properly is? There are a lot of horror stories about CP Examinations. Same wit
