Certainly, a doctor is not supposed to lie in any context. If you were to ask two attorneys--one who does claimants' work and another who does insurance companies' work--whether or not doctors do lie, however, their answers may vary.
That being said, the AMA Guide used for figuring impairment ratings is supposed to require objective criteria, but the ratings given can vary, which indicates there are subjective components to ratings, too. |
