OH RNcrps2, I feel your pain!!! Although I haven't heard of such a thing, but I have read some inaccurate (current) medical history reports from W/C doctors. The doctor misqouted() what I've said. For example...said "I fell," when I didn't, but it just so happen that I had overheard him making his dectation, and I currected him on that.
W/C doctor stated in report that I said, "I heard a pop in my wrist!" But I never said exactly where I heard the pop, only that it was in my arm. Not only inaccurate but one set of some very important information from the PT was also left out completely! I'm talking that the events of that day wasn't in the computer, and is very important to my case! Unlucky for me this PT was not a staff member, but agency filling in for someone.

RNcrps, I feel so bad for you because like yourself, I'm dealing with W/C.
Please let us know what your attorney is saying about all this. Then from now on make sure you get a copy of your reports...immediately, if you can, and get a copy to your attorney right away!

PS...as for "if they really listen," I asked the W/C PM that question once because I was fustrated, hurting, and had enough!! I was told, "everyone is listening to you, but you're just not getting the answers that "you" want to hear." If I wasn't a lady, I would have told him what was on my mind ! But this isn't about me, so let me say this, W/C plays so many games, not that the doctor was playing games. But it's all a process and they will try to push you to the point of just giving in, or up...but you try to hold on! Hang in there, you are not alone, even thou it feels like it sometimes. I will pray for you!

I'll do some checking about your question, and get back to you. I'm sure someone will come along that can answer it. I think it's going to be okay RNcrps. This stress is not good for you! Was this the IME, or treating doctor?
