Response to Demand stipulations (a.k.a. Objection to Notice or ‘other wording’)

When you have an excellent observer at your plaintiff’s Defense Medical Exam, you know that your client is in good hands, stopping unauthorized DME questions, following your instructions to prohibit any x-rays during the doctor’s office visit, and preventing any attempts to have the client complete patient questionnaires, etcetera. The Code of Civil Procedure Section 2032 indicates that the Defense Medical Examination will not be painful, protracted, or intrusive. The RN observer performs the same whether or not the plaintiff attorney’s office produced a Response to Demand for Physical Examination. Common DME issues that we deal with are attempts to make the event prolonged (protracted) or intrusive--both of which are specifically prohibited by the law and are addressed in routine Response to Demand for Physical Exam stipulations—but again, we prevent these defense tactics whether or not the plaintiff attorney produces a Response to Demand for Physical Examination. If you have produced the document, and you email it to us, we give a copy of the Response to Demand to the doctor at the beginning of the examination.  Don’t send your plaintiff to their Defense Medical Exam without this excellent observer.

Have an excellent observer at your plaintiff’s defense medical exam

#.            No other persons other than plaintiff, his representative, the court reporter, _____, M.D., and his staff are allowed to be present during the examination.

#             Any persons assisting Dr. Doctor must be fully identified by full name and titled on the court report's record or to the attorney or representative.

#.            The examination must be limited to plaintiff's condition which are in controversy in this action, as provided by C.C.P. '2032.010 et. seq.

#.            This examination shall consist of a physical examination of our client, as authorized by Code of Civil Procedure Section 2032.220.   

#.            Plaintiff or plaintiff's representative will not give an oral history of the incident.  Plaintiff will describe his injuries.  He will not orally relate medical history not related to the areas of injuries claimed in this lawsuit.               

#.            No questions regarding plaintiff's medical, accident or other history shall be asked, in written form or orally.  The defense examiner will be limited to asking questions limited to plaintiff's then immediate physical sensations and/or complaints of pain or discomfort, or lack thereof, which are elicited by the exam itself.  The defense examiner may be provided by defense counsel with any records, depositions, responses to other discovery, or other things which defense counsel deems necessary to provide the examiner with any history.  Plaintiff reserves the right to provide examiner, if requested, with basic information to verify plaintiff's identity or other information such as weight, height, etc. without waiving any objections.

#.             Plaintiff will not orally relate a narrative of the treatment history Plaintiff has sought in relation to this injury.  Such information has been, or will be produced for Defendant, in writing.

#.            The defense doctor shall not attempt to take a lifetime medical history or inquire into areas which are protected by plaintiff's right to privacy.  The doctor shall not attempt to conduct a deposition of plaintiff with respect to details of the accident.  The deposition of the plaintiff can be given to the doctor if desired.                                                                                                                                                                                               

#.            No diagnostic test or procedure that is painful, protracted or intrusive will be allowed as set forth in C.C.P. '2032.220. This includes but is not limited to EMG's, nerve conduction studies, MRI's, EEG's, any type of injection and any type of electrical testing.  No blood or bodily fluids shall be taken from plaintiff without a court order or   written agreement of the parties.

#.            Plaintiff will not sign any paperwork or fill out any paperwork at the doctor's office, including A patient@ information forms or consent forms, because plaintiff is not a  patient of _____, M.D., and is consenting to this examination pursuant to the  requirements of C.C.P. '2032.010.

#.            No x-rays, CT Scans, or MRI's will be allowed. Plaintiff will make his relevant post accident x-rays, if any are available at the defendant's expense.

#.            No mental examination will be allowed.

#.            Dr. Doctor must be provided with a copy of this response prior to the examination.

#.            The total time for examination and testing, if applicable, will not exceed two (2) hours.  If any period of time exceeding thirty (30) minutes goes by when plaintiff is not being examined, either by Dr. Doctor and staff, then plaintiff will be free to leave.

#.            No mental examination will be allowed.

#.            Plaintiff demands full compliance of C.C.P. '2032.610.  Plaintiff further demands a copy of any discoverable reports, records reviews, examination charges and writings generated by Dr. SMITH in the matter pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 2032.610. This request includes a copy of a detailed written report,  setting out the history, examination, findings, including the results of all tests made, diagnoses, prognoses and conclusions of the examiner.  Plaintiff requests a copy of all reports of all earlier examinations of the same condition of the examinee made by that or any other examiner (C.C.P. '2032.610).  A copy of these reports shall be delivered within thirty (30) days after the service of the demand, or within fifteen (15) days of trial, whichever is earlier.  The protection from work product under C.C.P. '2018 is waived, both for the examiner's writings and reports and to the taking of the examiner's testimony.

#.            Plaintiff will appear at the scheduled defense medical examination.  However, plaintiff will not be unduly inconvenienced, by the defendant's defense examination.  Plaintiff will appear at the examiner's office on January 14, 2008 at the requested appointment time of 7:30 a.m..  If the defense examination has not commenced by 8:00 a.m. plaintiff will consider this protracted delay to be a waiver of defendant's rights to the defense examination and will leave the medical examiner's office, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedures, Section 2032 (c) 2.
