What happens to the body of case law developed over past year's use of the fourth edition? Would the research include possible disruption of those precedents? Is that case law still relevant or is it thrown out the window? Perhaps more important, since the AMA Guides are now fluid - that is changing chapter by chapter as the AMA decides - the sixth edition itself may no longer be relevant. How would Texas, or any other state for that matter, accommodate an evaluating physician referencing a newer AMA chapter? And is that same method already available to an evaluator so that he/she can already analogize to it?
