FCE

Yes, I have knowledge of the wc system, labor laws and such. I also worked with helping Work Comp Attorneys. I even fish with them. I think for the most part, I been trained quite well.

I am not saying rigged a test or an FCE. I am say, use of objectiveness can widely vary.

Use of medications, from one person to the next is always going to vary.

The research and studies are out on the net to see and read.

On my last human operated FCE, when my heart rate was going off scale, it wasn't mentioned in the report. Yet, I was told to stop what I was doing, sit, relax, deep breath and all till it came down. Then at another task till my heart rate went off scale again. I've been down this road. Many may not have. They were even taking my blood pressure and all to make sure the monitor I was wearing wasn/t off. And it wasn't. So by leaving something like that out, yes, you get an incorrect report. The doctor's and surgeons can't read it, because it wasn't there. Like I said, things can and do happen. Then you have to do like me, an pay for your own FCE to get a proper report.

Freebird, I'm glad yours work out well for you. That's great.

When you paid to have your own FCE done, was this report used or the first one scheduled by WC or either in your settlement?

Just wondering, What was the difference in findings?

I am not trying to pick you apart. I am astonished at your self proclaimed knowledge of how a FCE should be administered according to your Knowledge base.
As I stated before, I was not given a option of whether to take my meds or not to take my meds. It only makes sense to me that a IW would take his regular meds as he would on a routine day. If one cannot function on his meds without impairment, The Doctor needs to know and the meds adjusted OR One should be rated PTD.
I have not been fishing with any WC Attorney's but I have been around the block a time or two.
