- i) “at an IME with [the Respondent] I felt so uncomfortable that at one point I excused myself, went outside and felt suicidal. He came out to get me and I returned to complete the session…”
- ii) “I don’t recall exactly what we were talking about but all of a sudden I felt like my whole world was coming to an end. It was the way he was asking me questions… I felt as if he had led me on with his friendliness and then used some kind of interrogation technique, like they would use with a criminal or in a war zone …”
iii) “Upon leaving I felt as if I had been mentally raped.”
- iv) “I continue to suffer severe stress and anxiety attacks relating to this incident.”
