Stress Screen, a service of Affiliated Counseling and Referral Services Michael E. Shery, Ph.D, Clinical Psychology, President Practice Alert!
Hello: Warning: DON'T settle another injury case without first reading this letter! Otherwise, you are likely to be shortchanged again! YES...again! To help you prevent this, I need a little information about your practice... just the number of new injury and/or workers comp cases you get per month? I will then be able to help you dramatically balloon the profitability of your practice- without having to add new clients. You see, millions of dollars are lost each year to attorneys because of psychological disorders that are undetected in their injury clients. For Example...What do You Do in these Situations...? If you notice your client starting to limp after an accident, do you ignore it as "just part of life," or do you bring it to his attention, suggest an exam and consider it for compensation? What if he appears to be having more headaches? Do you ignore it or bring them to his attention as worthy of an exam and possible compensation? Of course, you suggest the exam and consider the symptoms for compensation. But what do you do about the resulting anxiety. family problems and depression...? You see, each year millions of dollars are lost to victims...and their attorneys because even though these injuries cause various forms of anxiety... and were induced by the injury, they are unrecognized, specifically as psychological symptoms, but viewed only as "everyday attempts to cope."
What if you discover, in passing, that he has been arguing excessively with his wife? What if he mentions that he's been unmotivated or in a "funk...?" I bet you utter a few kind words then quickly move to "more important" things. In the frenzy to deal with physical symptoms, lawyers, clients and doctors are oblivious to these behavioral signs... and their longer term consequences: They include poor work performance, a deteriorating marriage, chronic depression, lack of motivation and crippling anxiety... consequences down the road that you may never get a chance to see?
Who Am I? I'm Dr Mike Shery, a clinical psychologist, member of The American Counseling Association, diplomate in behavioral medicine and have been in practice for over 25 years. When asked why they didn't seek treatment sooner, the answer was always some form of. .. "I thought I just had to get through it" and "my lawyer and none of my doctors said I needed it."
Depression- The "Unmentionable Injury" Injury victims, particularly men, are reluctant to reveal depression or anxiety directly "as a psychological symptom." Massive diagnosis error occurs because the signs of the client's emotional symptoms are mainly revealed indirectly and only "in passing" during conversation, not in a specifically structured interview. This contributes to the misperception that these symptoms are "just part of life," not possible signs of real psychological injury lurking beneath the surface. In their offices, doctors, themselves, fail to recognize up to 50% of their own patients' psychological disorders! and contingency fees. This crisis of massive failure to recognize psychological symptoms needed an urgent solution. So...The They concluded that doctors, to be diligent, must routinely screen their patients with a specifically designed instrument. It should be able to detect the apparent OR hidden psychological disorders that patients are reluctant to disclose and that doctors don't recognize in everyday practice. The Important Message is Due Diligence. These disorders should be treated but doctors chronically overlook them. Therefore, the recommendation for specifically designed screening is the only way to reliably identify reluctantly revealed psychological symptoms before they cause more trouble down the line, like ...work problems...family discord...chronic pain...etc. .. After All, Too Many People were Falling through the Cracks in Hospitals and Doctors' Offices! You know what that means... Since it was Happening to Doctors. It's Guaranteed that a Flood of these Disorders are Pouring Down the Drain in your Office... Right Now! It's all about due diligence and being thorough!
Doctors have already given us the answer: Proactive Screening. It can uncover the hoards of psychiatric symptoms lurking beneath the surface and enable a mountain of new and deserved compensation! And... when you succeed, your clients will receive needed treatment, a dramatic boost in compensation AND you will enjoy a ballooning of your contingency fee profits!
In one respect, YOU are a Health Professional too. And your clients TRUST you. It's your responsibility to see that they are compensated and treated for ANY health problems resulting from their injuries. That includes psychological symptoms that, research tells us are initially unrecognized by doctor, patient and lawyer. Most importantly, YOUR "patients" have JUST BEEN INJURED or involved in a traumatic health-threatening auto accident. Therefore, it doesn't take a Nobel Prize winner to recognize that, to be thorough, due diligence requires that YOU do what doctors say THEY need to do...Provide Systematic and Routine Screening. AND just like physicians...if you don't screen for these symptoms, you won't even know if they exist, will you?.

As the attorney, you will receive a concise, easy to understand report that will document the presence of any compensable disorders, their present and possible future impact on your client and recommendations for treatment. Identifying these symptoms that otherwise would have been overlooked, enables needed treatment and compensation for your client. .. and an explosive growth in contingency fee income for yourself.
