Michael Friedman, DO

L&I has scheduled an IME for next Tues. I regularly go online to review my case and wanted you all to know that the Dept. of L&I stated in their request to schedule the IME to NOT SCHEDULE WITH DR. FRIEDMAN. So thank you. It's bad enough L&I treat us as if we're all liars and fakes. That a Dr. would behave in such a manner seems like grounds for a malpractice suit.

The below 5 star review below is the same MO as what happens when someone tells the truth about this swamp monster. Now read the one star review below and note the date. Don't expect anyone from the state of Washington to do anything about him. He's the star player for LNI and the companies he subcontracts through. Money and greed will also rise to the top and the collateral damage disappears into the WA ST SWAMP. Believe the the one stars. take a tape recorder with you and don't be afraid after you get his report. Speak up and tell everyone from your claims manager to our liberal left out of bounds Governor Inslee. Send a letter of your "crime" to every representative in this state. Get through public records all the letters sent to Inslee from injured workers, doctors, friends, family, lawyers and anyone else that sent in complaints about this corrupt, pay for play. broke, sorry excuse of a system.

I saw Dr. Friedman for 3 years when I finished college and became really depressed. He listened and understood. He made sense of my problems with friends and my boyfriend. He explained that medications could help and in fact they did. I attribute my treatment to being able to move and find a job in my career.

Why the state of WA. has allowed this man to continue abusing injured workers for many many many years is beyond comprehension. There is no one within the LNI claims mangers system that doesn't know what takes place behind a closed door. Same for the companies that Friedman subcontracts through. Forget about writing a complaint about him to LNI, WA ST Department of Health or the companies that he works for. You can forget about writing to Joel Sacks the director of LNI and definitely don't write anything to Jay Inslee. Inslee never sees your letters of complaints, as they are just passed off back to LNI and you will have done yourself no favors: you will only make matters worse for you. There of thousands and thousands of pages sent to Inslee and Joel Sacks. The "pattern" of complaints has already been established and ignored. Get it through you head; they don't care!!! No one wants to stop the fraudulent Independent Medical Exams (IME). Your only line of defense is to get smart and hide a recorder. When a government agency puts a WAC in place that only pertains to injured workers and not the rest of the population; there is a very good reason for that. MONEY! You might as well beat your head against a brick wall, it will feel good when you stop. Forget about calling any news agency or news paper. It's been done before and no one cares. Forget about your local police agency. Forget about asking to be wired for the exams, as "that's just not going to happen". Forget about calling the FBI or the Dept. of Justice. Been done many times already; No one cares. You are dancing around the political third rail. Forget about the Attorney Generals Office------they represent LNI and all of the State of WA. Dummy UP!!
