What if I don't agree with what my doctors have prescribed?
In most cases, it is important to follow your doctor's advice. If you have a concern about a prescribed course of treatment, ask questions or get a second opinion. For example, if your doctor recommends that you attend therapy sessions or take medication or perform exercises at home and you don't, it can be said your failure to do so delayed or prevented your recovery. If the treatment causes other problems, return to your doctor, explain the situation and let your doctor determine how best to adjust your treatment, if at all.
You should be aware that your treating doctor's and therapist's records may have to be provided to and reviewed by ICBC and will be an important consideration when settling your claim. In other words, the history of your injuries and treatment kept by your doctor, his or her recommendations, and your compliance will form part of the record relating to your claim |
