      Although a doctor would be required to sign-off on the decision, their doctor simply reviews what the computer says So the doctor doesn’t actually look at your individual case file like he should, he just rubberstamps in bulk all decisions spit out of the computer. So they will claim that they stay within the letter of the law by having a doctor “sign-off” on your decision, but in reality the doctor rubberstamps thousands of computer decisions all at once.
