Does it strike you as strange that a child 8 years of age would have poor ability to deal with work stresses?
Tom Coburn
The Public Record
Tom Coburn is a former U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, serving from 2005 to 2015. A member of the Republican Party, Coburn was known for his fiscal conservatism and advocacy for government transparency. He was a practicing physician before entering politics, which influenced his views on healthcare and government spending. Throughout his tenure, he was a vocal critic of wasteful government expenditures and often called for reforms to improve accountability in Congress.
I would ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the list of RFC forms and note that they all show 'Poor' on 'Demonstrated reliability.'
I think anybody who has a significant mental health problem is going to have poor reliability.
You were not aware that a medical assessment of ability to do work-related activities would be used in evaluating somebody's disability?
Yes. So why did you sign them? If you did not do them, you put your signature on them.
Do you think it is appropriate as a medical professional to copy a claimant's subjective allegations word for word and pass it off as your own medical conclusions?
You allowed it to run uncontrolled. You had great chances to stop this, and you did not.
So how is it that you also found that this claimant with an IQ of 61, two standard deviations below low normal, had no problem managing his money?
So you found no objective findings that were different than the subjective complaints that were given to you by the claimant?
You would agree we have already gotten testimony that Eric Conn was forum shopping just by the testimony that has been here today.
And it is true that you notified Mr. Hall that you were aware that Judge Daugherty was assigning himself cases as well?
All right. We have heard from many judges that ALJ hearings can take as long as an hour or more.
In May 2011, some of the details about the arrangement with Mr. Conn and Judge Daugherty became public in an article, which you before related to. What was the reaction inside the Conn law office at that time?
So he would back date it to the age grid or he would back date it to the last denial?
