Physicians, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Vocational Rehabilitation Consultants, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Kinesiologists are training to take a history, do an assessment, arrive at an opinion and make recommendations for client management. That is what we do...because that is what we are trained to do.
What happens, though, when our client becomes involved in some sort of legal action?
A lawyer, insurance company, employer, union or workers compensation may ask for a medical legal report.
The report may ask for various aspects of the client’s condition including:
1. Symptoms
2. Past Medical History
3. Family History
4. Occupational History
5. Social History
6. Physical Examination Findings
7. Investigation/Test Results
8. Impression/Diagnoses
9. Plan of Management
