    We have read Baird, supra, closely and find, however, that it simply holds that an injured worker does not have the right to choose his medical/nurse case manager.2 We decline to extend the reasoning employed by the court in Baird, supra, to this case.

The opinion

BBROWN, J.,

Concurring,

The trial judge was not clearly wrong in finding that Baird did not demonstrate a medical necessity for the services sought. Thus, I would affirm the workers’ compensation judge’s ruling.
