Description
Kathleen Andreff, the claimant in this workers compensation case, sustained an injury on May 28, 1993, when she fell and struck her jaw on a shelf while working as a secretary for the Jupiter Police Department. After the accident, appellants referred Andreff to Dr. Jack Goldberg for treatment. On July 29, 1993, Andreff also began treating with Dr. Craig Lichtblau, a physiatrist. Dr. Lichtblau eventually referred Andreff to Dr. Ignacio Magana, a neurosurgeon, for evaluation of her diagnosed disc herniation. Dr. Magana recommended surgery at the C5-6 level. On May 16, 1994, the employer/carrier (E/C) sent Andreff to Dr. Jordan Grabel, a neurosurgeon, for an independent medical examination. Dr. Grabel was reluctant to advise surgical intervention and recommended that Andreff undergo a new MRI scan of the cervical spine. Following another MRI of the cervical spine, Dr. Grabel determined that Andreff was not a surgical candidate.
