The opinion
On the authority of Ex parte Brookwood Medical Center, Inc. , 895 So.2d 1000 (Ala.Civ.App. 2004), I concur; however, in my view, the distance between an employee's home and the office of a treating physician selected by the employer pursuant to the Alabama Workers' Compensation Act is immaterial to the employee's right to request a "panel of four" under Ala. Code 1975, § 25-5-77 (a).
CRAWLEY, J., concurs.
