Angino " Rovner 4503 North Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17110-1708 RE: JoAnn Bowerman Dear Attorney Sadlock: 1 received your letter of December 17, 1997 in regards to Ms. Bowerman, also known in our office under the name of JoAnn Gilkey, in regards to a motor vehicle accident which occurred on 6/23/94. I had the opportunity of seeing JoAnn in the office on December 21, 1994 as a referral from Dr. Ernie Rubbo. She presented herself at that time as a 30-year-old right hand dominant female who complains of neck pain, headaches, pain in the right arm. She stated that all her symptoms began following a motor vehicle accident on 6/23/94 when she was the restrained driver in a motor vehicle which was moving and was rear ended. The patient underwent initial care and evaluation and treatment by Dr. Ernie Rubbo. She did not ~eceive any significant benefit since that period of time and therefore she was referred to the office. I evaluated her on December 21, 1994 and reviewed an MRl which revealed a lateral disc herniation at the 4-5 area with relatively normal rest of the lumbar spine. I had started her on some nonsteroidal anti-infl&mnatories at that point in time and because of her ongoinq symptoms I referred her for a cervical epidural by Dr. Lori Dunn, an anesthesiologist, who performs pain management of procedures and the patient underwent this procedure. The patient did have short term relief with the epidurals where she had three sets of epidurals. She still has had neck pain and discomfort, headaches, and occasional arm pain. When she returned back to our office on April 26, 1995. The patient continued to have complaints and was now complaining of some pain in the ulnar distribution in the hand and therefore an additional referral was made with Dr. Turgeon, a neurologist, and she underwent an EMG study of the upper extremities and this EMG was found to be normal. JoAnn continued to have complaints on my next visit in October 1995 and my concern was that the findings noted on the MRl did not clinically correspond to the patient \ s overall subjective complaints, the patient having a negative EMG, I was uncertain to what CAn be determined as a true success rate of anterior cervical 11I111 TMIIn CII".
