hi ... I am a 57 y/0 doctor of pharmacy 9 months post mva with a fractured c-2 and herniated c6. then 10 days later 2nd concussion by walking into a poll.
mentally let me sum it up this way. went to my psyk test sat and asked my driver if I was in my car or her car. had been in the car 5 min. you get the picture. classic pcs. headaches, noise sensitivity, personality change. ect. ect.

well today went to the social security internist medical exam. could not read the doctor at all. I can early and brought my newest medical records which he used. (good) was sitting in the waiting area with my gun protection ear guards on because the receptionist have their music blasting and ppl are visiting in there. looked totally weird because for some whacked out reason I was stressed and randomly shaved my head last week but kept the full beard.
so my turn can up to see doc. went into a little room. Remember 5th grade where you had to write a report and you thot you were so sly by copying sentences from 5 different encyclopedias would fool your teacher? that is what he did. the took the Stanford neurologists report that obviously he had never looked at and would flip thru them and randomly copy and put that in his report. never asked me anything.
then to the exam room. him take your glasses off and put them down. me what? .... put them where? you know very slow on the up take.
then did something laying down. then stand there and swing my leg. had to hang on to the table. flex my joints. walk heal to toe. ..... could not do that.
...... then the sly question on the way out "do you miss you job?
me. "I miss my mind" or something like that might have been. " I miss being myself"

so what do you think? did this exam help or hurt my disability case?
