Questions about preparing for an IME?
What are your thoughts on taking notes in with you, in addition to the medical records and x-rays? If there is no legal obligation for the doctor to answer questions, can they claim obstruction if you try to ask too many questions? If there is no doctor-patient relationship and no duty to treat or diagnose, what if they don't accurately diagnose your condition and injure you during the IME?
Thank you everyone,
Carl
Answers:
You should be able to take notes with you -- the medical professional's job is to give you an evaluation -- and they cannot do that without all of the facts.
Asking questions -- What I am reading says not to talk any more than you have to.
If you get injured or hurt during the exam -- immediately stop the eval. If the pain is serious, go to the emergency room.
Read the ENTIRE document below -- it is pretty good info.
