Summary:
According to the Commission, jurisprudence established by CUB 7947 indicates that when 2 medical certificates give different opinions, whether provided by the same physician or not, more credence must be given to the first. I do not believe that this is a rule of general application.

Summary:
I cannot see how the cursory examination by the independent medical examiner, and his conclusion, can stand against the much better informed determination of the claimant's doctor. [p. 6]

Summary:
IME confirms claimant's incapacity on 27-12; projected date of recovery: 15-1. Claimant's doctor says on 23-1 she had not yet recovered. If the Commission felt that this statement was not credible, claimant should have been required to reattend before IME.
