A few months ago, I was asked by my case manager to attend yet again an independent medical examination (IME), with the same doctor I had seen 6 months before.
My experience with this “independent doctor” was so traumatic that I refused to be examined again by the same doctor. There was no way on earth I would ever go to this independent doctor ever again.
Being fearful of loosing my weekly earnings (read: being well aware that if you do not attend an IME your weekly payments may be suspended or ceased), I decided to consult my lawyer on this rather delicate matter.
Well, I am very pleased to let you know that we (my lawyer) were successful! I did not have to see that same, rotten (excuse my language) independent doctor but was given permission to attend the IME with another doctor (specialised in the same area). Oh boy, what a difference this made 
Keep this in mind if they send you to some previously seen horrible jerk of an ‘independent medical doctor)!
