Thinking of you @utopia - whilst you go through this stressful process made even more so by difficult people. Hope there is some resolution to the whole thing sooner rather than later.

Hi @utopia - well that was very observant of him to see that you hadn't acted on your suicidal thoughts. I'm thinking compassion and empathy aren't his core values. I have heard many bad things about the IMEs and how there is nothing independent about them. They are on the workcover payroll after all. My psychiatrist refers to them as being combative. I'm guessing it comes down to workcover being just another insurance company and the objective is to get you out of their system. That's crappy money being on workcover payments - disability pension pays more than that but I suppose eventually you want to get back to work in some capacity - Maybe they can offer you retraining? I really hope you can get some resolution soon.

Hey @utopia - hope today's meeting went okay for you. Did my back in at work a while ago and the IME told me after a few week's of therapy that now it's just normal wear and tear.
