W comp plays that game quite often... with all kinds of injuries..
1. Do you have a very good atty on your side..??
One that can help find the good drs to help prove your side of the claim..?

It may be simpler to say the name of the state you are in as laws of WC might be different in other states/areas..
A well known highly ranked DR is very helpful.

We have a WC forum with info in the sticky threads, and past posts will show how WC plays the game.. knowledge is power...
