From judydoc@the-spa.comTue Jul 14 15:22:40 1998 Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 08:47:15 -0400 From: judy morris To: judydoc@the-spa.com Subject: Doctors changing opinions Ladies and Gents, I heard about a doctor changing his diagnosis under pressure from UNUM today. If you only do one thing I ask of you, please talk to your doctors and share with them the information I'm sending you. These doctors do not realize they are being used when UNUM calls them on the phone (The best thing is to advise your doctors not to talk to UNUM on the phone and to read everything UNUM writes very, very carefully and immediately refute in writing any "errors"). UNUM's employees are master manipulators. A busy doctor is not thinking about UNUM's ulterior motives and that they couldn't care less if you died, as long as they didn't have to pay you. He/She hears them saying "It would really be in your patient's best interest if we didn't encourage illness behavior. Are you sure they are so disabled they can't work?" You are not there to defend yourself when these conversations occur. Please forwarn your doctors. Share the information I've sent you about how many times UNUM has been sued and the things they are doing to people. Don't wait until they put words in your doctor's mouth and you are terminated. Then you will be swimming upstream. I will be happy to discuss this with any of them as you know. My phone number is (413) 267-3606. It's going to take a very, very long time for us to get this behavior to stop by legal action. Please protect yourselves NOW. Spread the word. Judy Morris, MD (Judydoc)
