I know in Canada, Doctors are allowed to charge the company that wants the paperwork up to a set dollar amount, after that the remains get pushed onto the client. WCB would ask you to get your doctor to sign forms, he/she'd fill them out and charge WCB. Same for the Disability, it would be charged to either Provincial or Federal (depending on which paperwork you are doing). Which seems to work. Walk in clinics do NOT offer this paperwork scheme. They can do sick notes, and WCB claims. That's it, they won't do Disability because they just don't have that repitorie with you. It works well out here, but there is still that HUGE crunch, as we are always critically short on doctors, putting more pressure for them to make appointments as quick as possible.

Eight years after original diagnosis, cold CRPS 1 patients have poorer clinical pain outcomes and show persistent signs of central sensitisation correlating with disease progression. The latter is not the case for warm CRPS 1 patients. *
