Episode #157: Doing Disability Reviews From a Physician Who’s Been on Both Sides

If you're someone who enjoys the detective work within medicine, disability reviews may be just the field for you. Dr. Tim Bergan joins us today to share his journey in the field of disability and worker’s compensation review. His journey began as a family physician in the Navy, where an interest in occupational medicine first took hold as he witnessed the wide range of accidents and injuries that can happen on a large aircraft carrier.  We delve into his career path and discuss the ins and outs of doing disability reviews.
