Well, Izz.....
your attorney isn't reading his e-mails.
I think that's very common.
Have you contacted his assistant and asked her to speak to him directly about exactly what it is you need him to do for you?
That's how I deal with my attorney..... through her assistant. It's a triage process, and you should make sure you put emphasis on the important stuff, like....
"I am not strong enough to travel for this appointment and cannot make the trip..... the Doctor needs to travel to me. I have documented case law where handicapped individuals aren't required to travel cross country to appts. and the doctors are brought in town. When my attorney phones me back I can provide that to him, or give it to you now so you can include it in this message, your choice. Please have him contact me with the new schedule ASAP, and let me know where I'll be meeting the doctor in town. Thanks."
It would be massively difficult for you to travel, and not just an insult, but traumatic physically and emotionally for you. Your attorney should be made aware.... he's very busy Izz. That doesn't mean you should suffer.
I still can't believe the Insurance Company wants you to travel out of town!
THE NERVE!

Now that I wrote him on a Saturday, there was a reply today and we are to talk tomorrow.
If the original plan had remained the same, I don't see why it wouldn't work, and that was with a hotel.
The no elevator: today is the first I heard that there were men to carry me up
but
the City was changed and not enough information has been passed to me to accept this without questioning. Perhaps I will find out tomorrow.
The other guy has PTSD and was on his way to see a psychaitrist, plus he smokes medical marijuana for his problem and this is unacceptable in airports etc.-----
....well....some of my problems I deem as unacceptable to me, personally! His assistant must be made aware of these problems, and I did so in an email that she will find when she comes to work tomorrow.

Today it was left at my lawyer saying he would say:
Either Karla comes with me to assist in public washrooms, or I don't go!
Karla is willing and now I await the report on the response of the Insurance Co.
lighter:
OK, Izz....
I have visions of you, 3 men, AND Karla tumbling down a long concrete stairwell right now, and I'm not sure how many more hits you can take at this point.
WHY do you have to undertake this trip out of town?
Don't these people have agents in your area?
WHy would a man with mental health issues be less capable of traveling out of town than you?
Be firm with your attorney.
You don't need to be traveling anywhere right now, and if that's not crystal clear to your attorney, the insurance company, and their counsel I don't know what to say.

Getting appointments for IMEs or DMEs, whatever, they are not 5 minute jobs. My city is smaller and all backed up for months. Vancouver is 45 minute flight away and then New Westminster is a 16 mile drive after that. In the Vancouver area one can book an appointment far sooner than locally.
Remember I had a November 15, 2011 appointment with Dr. V, the physiatrist, and that was 9 months to wait. One week before the appointment we learn that Joanne learned he had a 2 hour space for me that day, BUT, she didn't book me. She was fired. I was re booked for May 16, 2012 = a 16 month wait....all history now.
Why the Defence is only now asking for an Examination, I don't know as 3½ years have passed, but my lawyer has said Karla accompanies me, or I don't go--- then I see (as his assistant forwarded me two emails of Paul's, which I don't think I was to have, with) the implication that he is just learning some things about me now. The Defence council will know better, if he refers to the Examination for Discovery, as I stated same during the questioning.
I already called out my lawyer yesterday. He already told me he cannot ask for the Specialist to come here, yet his email yesterday is asking Defence council to consider it. (What's wrong? Did HE not think of that?)
I mentioned that the other guy smokes medical marijuana for his PTSD. What I don't know is how often he smokes it-- and therefore requires a home visit, here.

might be because they think I am pogo sticking all over town after all this time, but I am not. I still have pain, aches, tremors, therapy, no social activities, no job, sleep disturbances have lost 3½ years out of my life, cannot use public washrooms,
yada yada
They are well know too for their surveillance and they probably never see me out! But even if they watch me, they will see the trouble I have. I told it all at the Examination for Discovery. Maybe my lawyer doesn't want to be left out. He and I will have a run-through of what I must not mention.
