Re: work injury
If you feel your doctor is compromising your treatment and you don't trust him or her, I recommend to change your treating doctor. A lot of insurance company doctors have loyalty to whomever pay them. Your treating doctor may recommend restriction based on his examinations and your employer may check those restrictions to see if they can accommodate and find a modified duty work. Call us at 213.388.7070 if you need representation.
