Take notes right after the exam to help you remember details from the medical examination. If you receive a report from the doctor that you disagree with, make sure you let your lawyer know. If your notes show deficiencies in the exam (for instance, if the doctor did not spend much time examining you, did not ask you important questions or did not pay attention to certain symptoms), you have a better chance of showing that the insurance company’s doctor is not credible regarding the parts of the report that you disagree with.
