[edit] Mayor seeks records on firefighters' physicians

"Mayor Thomas M. Menino ordered the Boston Fire Department yesterday to dig through its records in a hunt for doctors who have diagnosed large numbers of city firefighters with work-related injuries, increasing scrutiny on the role physicians play in awarding questionable disability pensions.

The mayor's office said Menino is seeking to unearth suspicious patterns in which some physicians may have "disproportionately diagnosed disabilities.""
