Is a doctor of physical rehabilitation in medicine entitled to a second assessment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Clower v. Poeckert et al, 2006 BCSC 287 (CanLII):
In Matheos v. Pottle the issue was whether the defendant was entitled to a second examination by a doctor of physical rehabilitation in medicine when the defendant had already had the plaintiff examined by an occupational therapist and there was nothing in that report that appeared to dictate a further assessment. Again, that is not the situation here.
