The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in ordering medical authorizations, discovery of medical records and reports, depositions, and physical examinations of the appellants in aid of the arbitration (see, CPLR 3102[c]; Hendler Murray v. Lambert, 127 A.D.2d 820 ; Matter of State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Wernick, 90 A.D.2d 519 ).
