All of you experienced EHS nurses.. We had an employee who was hurt on the job. He has been out on WC since the begining of the year. The insurance company that pays our claims videotaped him building a house, using a hammer with the broken hand. Also moving materials and running a saw. This has gone on for 6 months. The company contacted the doctor and he refuses to amend any of his reports regarding this guy's RTW status. He stated that there was no way to say the injury was taking longer because the guy was still using the hand. Am I crazy? What is the downside for this dco to review the tapes, talk to the patient and say WTH???
