“This is an
excellent text that will be useful to both the physician starting
to perform IMEs and the experienced examiner. The in depth case
history format illustrates many of the important issues involved
in disability evaluation." Tom Beller, M.D.
"Bristling with detailed examples, model reports and
chilling illustrations of devastating cross-examination, Writing
and Defending Your IME report: A Comprehensive Guide is a
treasure trove of essential information for the forensic examiner
and a worthy addition to this exceptional series." Thomas
G. Gutheil, MD
“The book
is outstanding, to say the least. It is well-written, well-organized
and will serve as an invaluable tool to clinicians performing
independent medical evaluations.” Jane Derebery, MD
Writing and Defending Your IME Report: The Comprehensive
Guide is the most comprehensive guide and concise textbook
on the subject. It is a must for every independent Medical
examiner to read and review before depositions. It should
be a standard text in the realm of training disability evaluators."
Gabriel E. Sella, MD, MPH, MSc, PhD (HC)
Writing and
Defending Your IME Report is a valuable resource that can
assist the examiner with report preparation, provision of supporting
documentation to enhance report value, recognizing statements
to avoid and ways to effectively prevent and deal with legal
challenges. Model IME reports and useful information to avoid
pitfalls are presented in an easily readable manner. I highly
recommend this text for every medical examiner performing IMEs
regardless of their level of experience.” Michael
Erdil MD, FACOEM
“The text
is outstanding - straight forward and practical guidance that
is presented in a highly accessible manner. This is an essential
reference for the physician who wants to excel both at writing
a well thought-out IME report and in defending it in subsequent
cross-examination.” Bob Anfield, M.D.
“If an independent medical
evaluator is to have only one reference, this Writing and
Defending Your IME Report: The Comprehensive Guide, is
that reference. This volume is a distillation of years of experience
shared with the readers. I have learned from this book, even
after 30 years of experience as an evaluator. I particularly
commend the concept of "defending the report as written." Gary
C. Freeman, M.D.
