After seeing this dr a couple times he still doesn't know the exact problem I have. But he gives me a prescription for a restrictive brace and occupational therapy so I can't work and there is no light duty where I work. But then says he will not sign my short term disability paperwork so I don't lose my job while I do the O-T and heal from a vehicle accident.
Do yourself a favor and find another doctor that gets it.
If I lose my job due to his ignorance I plan to sue him.
