I am going to be honest here and put out a warning to everyone who is posting on any legal-ish questions.

I don't like how these questions and answers are going frankly. I feel "we" are in jeopardy of looking kind of questionable...and I say "we" because I tried to answer this question honestly and openly myself.

First, the initial question was how to answer a doctor's list of questions.

Then, it turned into a question on how to answer a deposition / questions.

In either case, no one can or should answer these questions for you, or give you a "template" as you describe.

There are occasions when I bet insurance companies / attorneys / gov. agencies look at this website, and I'd hate for it to be a perception that instead of honestly describing one's own personal situation and health, that we as a group are sharing symptoms and how to handle what should be an honest question and answer UNDER OATH I remind you, about YOUR condition.

I don't mean to sound angry - I'm not angry - but many of us here have insurance or work comp cases, and it's just this "kind" of "thing" that makes us look as if we get our symptoms off of a website and are "fakers."

A deposition is the opposing side of a legal dispute chance to hear the TRUTH. It's really that simple. For the complex issues, one is supposed to go to one's attorney, and in fact, if anyone else interferes with that contractual relationship can be sued for negligent or intentional interference with a contractual relationship depending upon the laws and cases in every state, and whether there is a Federal issue for multi-states.

I think we all have done our best to answer how we handle this, and each person I think has emphasized that the answers are going to be individual, honest and up to one's attorney for more than that...

Let's all be careful with these legal-ish answers and how they can get really screwed around.

God bless you all and know that I want nothing bad to happen to anyone
