D.O. is not a Neurologist

[Holllie Greene]

Hi,  the situation never ends (or it just ends with denials), no wonder my claim was denied---a D.O. did the C & P for worsening of M.S.  The D.O. got it so wrong.

A D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine deals with the "muscle-skeletory system"),  hmmmmm, no mention of the neurological system.  Thanks a lot VA. :((

OK, you all take care.

Also on a Hadit show a few weeks ago Jerrel was trying to think of a Name of a Dr that was on the show a good while back that help Veterans with PTSD Claims  and opinions.  I get his News Letter about every 2 months or so and his Name is

Dr Mark D Worthen PSYD

I think this is who Jerrel was trying to remember his name?...and he mention Dr Cantrell

Dr Mark D Worthen PSYD  

I have his email and office # if anyone needs it.

Yes , Mark is a member here and has helped some of our vets and also Dr Brett Valette is also a Psychologist-who does IMO/IMEs. I  think he was on a show we did with Dr Bash some time ago.

It was right after the new PTSD regulations came out.

Also you posted some contact info on Dr Cantrell here about a year ago:

Ms. Berta, Buck, and Gastone,

Thank you all for the excellent information, I appreciate it.

I think I am going to work my claim myself (advice from Buck years ago), I talked to the county VSO the other day and he recommended a statement from my husband and the new VA urologist, okay fine will do.

The county VSO is calm, listens, and has a rep of an all around nice guy.  Killer instinct?  I dunno.

IMalways Humble Opinion it seems the VSO has to have that instinct to get a positive result for the veteran.

It is nuts to have conflict with the VA/raters and have to jump thru hoop after hoop after hoop after hoop after you get the picture.

Well, thanks again you all.

Have a nice evening.
