Good morning Bruce,

I received word from your office that the orthopedic IME reports say that I am fine for full duty and expected to return to full duty on tomorrow morning. I will not be returning to work as I have not been released by Dr. Hogans. She has only cleared me to work for 2 hours a day from home. If I need to go back to work without pay status then that is what I will have to do. I need you to see if you can get this hearing expedited as I am being denied all of my medical care again.

I wanted to give you the respect of a face to face explanation of the issues I found in your medical records, which I believe will make it impossible to recover substantial compensation in this matter.

This also could have included shooting pain in both the arms and legs. I had the doctor confirm that he never received a history from the claimant of the discrete incident on 12/15/16. I tried to push the doctor off of his opinion on causal relationship, pointing out that there were two different histories of work related injuries but the doctor was insistent that it really did not matter because he felt this was really due to the claimant’s job. He said there might have been an incident that aggravated symptoms but he felt it was part of the heavy duty work the claimant was doing. The doctor did confirm that the claimant was released to return to work without any restrictions on 06/05/17 as he had an excellent result from his surgery.
