British Columbia Workers Compensation Board re: Conflicting Medical Opinion
We the undersigned demand an immediate amendment to the Workers Compensation Act, to include the following policy.
We the undersigned, demand that all workers injured and have been found by way of appeal, eligible for compensation, to be permitted to claim all losses incurred as a direct result of the termination of their benefits by the Workers Compensation Board. All losses, shall be determined by a regular court of law if there is a dispute in regards to claims of losses, and not by the Workers Compensation Board or its Board of Appeal.
We the undersigned demand that all workers in British Columbia receive retroactive payments and full reinstatement of benefits until a consensus has been reached as submitted in the policy posted below posted below.
The WCB should establish a policy that a Medical Advisor, when used, must reach agreement with the attending physician on matters of diagnosis, treatment plans, and on whether the injury prevents a return to work or modified duties.
Where consensus or agreement cannot be reached, an independent three member medical panel must assess the injured worker, in person, and their opinion will be final. The College of Physicians and Surgeons and the British Columbia Medical Association must be included in the process of setting up approved lists of physicians and specialists.
An injured worker's benefits may not be cut off until conflict in medical opinion is resolved.
We the undersigned find that if the above amendments cannot be included in the British Columbia Workers Compensation Act, that in its place the injured workers should immediately be given the right to sue for injury damages. This would include the right to sue for all injuries received from the date the British Columbia Workers Compensation Act, removed the right for workers to sue for damages.

WCB should not have doctors. What is wrong with our current Medical System, are they not competent enough to give WCB a medical diagnosis?

My case was decided by a doctor who never seen or talked to me personnally. The specialist who dealt with me was never contacted by this WCB doctor either
