decision elder's decision the district court misunderstood mr prince objections he never asserted the l j is required to accept the findings of the worker's comp arbitration and other non medical and medical training providers but according to even mention this determination what's interesting about the arbitration decision is how they weigh the doctor's opinions the l g s weighting of the doctor's opinions and the worker's comp arbitrators weighting of the opinion in complete contradiction and again this warrants at least minimal analysis at the very least the worker's comp decision can be found in the record at page one hundred and ninety five dollars and the worker's comp arbitrator found dr spencer did not review the records dr spencer even wrote in his report that he did not review the records and as you can see from the arbitrator's decision his focus was on the causation issue with regard to the cervical spine injuries at three hundred and fifty one he it mit's that he didn't review these records and therefore the arbitrator did not give his opinion much weight dr spencer makes false statements about dr montel as opinions dr spencer claims he did not feel that there was anything wrong with mr prim cervical spine and did not have any recommendations that's in the record at two o three arbitrator found this to be completely false and montel and lopez were given the most provocative weights according to the arbitrator again this is why the workers comp decision warranted at least being mentioned they held a also improperly weighed the treating physicians opinion starting with montel a mr prim cervical spine expert thanks mr prim was referred to dr montel of by dr lopez's partner at midwest sports medicine d and that it was an reasonable for him to participate in work in any way montel ordered an e m g which showed cervical ridicule op at the he ordered an m r i which showed multi level degenerative dish changes and more me agreed that there was ridiculous pity he also sent them for physical therapy chiropractic care and prescribe in time flaming tories in the med drawled those pac none of this treatment was mentioned by the ministry of logic a non treating medical provider non medical provider was not considered as well who's a notes are very important and that's kerry steps that steps up excuse me she's a certified real dilatation counselor she it ministered mr prim what's called the pegboard battery this is a wooden board and essentially you take metal dolls and you insert them in the holes and they time you and they you know basically put you on a bell curve of how you perform against other people in the industrial economy mr prim perform a percentile with his non dominant left hand and his right hand couldn't be used for so they get this is something that's really important that was not discussed by the l a j and it wasn't noted that for any reason that he was faking it or that he didn't give full effort he just couldn't do it and also consistent with this is the functional capacity evaluation which also says nothing about him not giving africa or doing what he's told or they faking it the f c a page three hundred and sixty three concluded that he cannot use his right hand for simple grasping pushing pulling or fly manipulation all gave during the hearing recognize this he gives three hypotheticals and the rd one he gives to the vocation like surprise harmon and says assume you have an individual who essentially can't use the right hand in a meaningful way is there any jobs for this individual vocational expert answered no and this was convenient left out of the decision and the  analysis the rd doctor who is relied upon more than the others is dr lopez dr lopez was the one who was the st orthopedic that saw mr prim after the work related injury he performed the right shoulder rotator cuff repair in october of two thousand and sixteen and the complete reconstruction of that joint as well in may of two thousand and seven he did a right cute little tunnel release with an older nerve transposition and the injuries that mr prince one thousand and six dollars led to his neck and right arm and it's with that in mind that the illinois arbitrator said dr spencer who was of the opinion that his thousand say that it's light duty with no push or pulling no overhead work fifteen pounds occasionally ten pounds frequently those are precisely the kinds of limitations  there are references to the worker's comp decision and that reference is really just an improper inference and that is specifically that you know mr prim received a three hundred thousand dollars settlement and therefore quote it's reasonable that the claimant would not be motivated to seek work given the amount of compensation received i mean fifty thousand dollars a year roughly this wasn't three million dollars i mean this is just a cheap shot at a veteran basically mr prince still not working today and the job of usher is you have discussed the job tasks but i don't even think it exists i mean there's no venue that operates forty hours a week for someone to be an usher you can't go to the united center every night of the we can be an usher it's not a year a full time work but that's beside the point just going back to you know doctor the use of the right arm dr lopez treats the arm the shoulder in the army sends him to montel as partner to treat a cervical spine and i know there's not a ton of notes but he does say he's good to go back to work unless montel assess up montel it does not say so so the judge sort of picks one opinion without considering the other and you know another thing that comes up with this right arm clearly the judge is aware of it is his wife fills out the function report of page two hundred and seventeen he cannot use right our he tells everybody that they all know that the tests show because when you have a workers compensation injury when you go to your doctor the st question they ask is how do you get injured oh you got injured at work perfect blue cross whatever your private carrier is isn't going to cover you when you get injured at work he's just following the protocol that he was told to do by the worker's comp insurance carrier and his doctors so unless you have any other questions we ask that you st this decision
