this post got me thinking -
I looked at my state website and found a page where you can look up the IME docs and their specialties and alot of other varied info on the site.

this is the OR page - http://www.wcd.oregon.gov/administra...hysicians.html

OR main comp page-
http://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/wcd/

but all states should have a similar one-
hmmm wish I knew how to find this stuff before or early on during my claim.
the dr I was assigned to see for IME was a ortho hand/surg-- so that is one reason he only focused on doing carpal tunnel tests.
But at the time I saw him I hadn't read anything about TOS yet either - but my dr & I knew it wasn't carpal tunnel!

I thought he had received notes /charts from my dr so I didn't really communicate all my symptoms to him - but I don't think it would have made any difference anyway since he was aware of my prior shoulder injuries and prior bilateral RSI and didn't total up the combined sx to anything. He reported that I was in essence a malingerer - LOL
A malingerer with very high marks on my annual work reviews - how ironic!
