Independent Medical Examination: A check-up done by a doctor who is not biased towards anyone. They will look at a person's body and health to see how they are doing. This is usually abbreviated as IME.
An independent medical examination (IME) is an assessment of a person's physical condition and health. It is conducted by a healthcare professional who is impartial, usually a physician. The purpose of an IME is to provide an objective evaluation of a person's medical condition, often for legal or insurance purposes.
These examples illustrate how an IME can be used in different situations to provide an objective evaluation of a person's medical condition. In both cases, the IME is conducted by an impartial healthcare professional to determine the extent of the person's injuries and the necessary treatment or work restrictions.
