Q: I'm not sure if my doctor is being honest
I went to a doctor appointment when I left they gave me a paper that said out of work continue therapy 4 weeks. Then workers compensation called me saying the doctor sent them a document saying I can return to work on lite duty. After asking if they could provide transportation since I don't own a car and taking public transportation takes me 2 hours each way and I was told no. I mainly want to know my rights in this situation since making the commute will be extremely difficult on my knee as it is. And the fact that the doctor seemed to change my paperwork without telling or consulting me at the whim of the insurance company.
