596 So.2d 135, 17 Fla. L. Week. D782, Fla.App. 1 Dist., Mar 17, 1992
A doctor's medical opinion cannot be disregarded because the judge finds that the history given to the doctor by the claimant was false or incomplete unless appropriate questions are put to the doctor specifically inquiring about the effect of the false or omitted information on the doctor's previously expressed opinion.Because the employer/carrier did not inform the claimant of his responsibility to conduct a work search, the claimant was excused from conducting such a search.
