waiting for therapy

[queenbee]

ON 7-06 MY DR. ORDEREDS 6 WEEKS OF THERAPY FOR MY NECK AND SHOULDER. WHILE I WAS AT THE DOCTORS OFFICE HIS NURSE CALLED CM TO GET APPROVAL AND GET MY THERAPY SCHEDULED.
MY CM DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS. BOTH THE NURSE AND I SIGHED AND ROLLED OUR EYES. WE KNEW WHAT TH CASE MANAGER WAS DOING. I SENT COPY OF DOCTORS ORDERS TO MY ATTORNEY AND TOLD HER WHAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY.
I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE ATTORNEY 5 TIMES. NO ANSWER TO MY MESSAGES. I CALLED THE DOCTORS OFFICE TODAY AND BEGGED THEM TO CONTACT WC FOR APPROVAL. DOCTORS OFFICE DOESN'T CALL ( THEY SAID THEY ARE INDEPENDENT ). I CAN'T CONTACT MY CASE MANAGER ACCORDING TO MY ATTORNEY EVERYTIME I TRIED TO
GET INFO FROM CASE MANAGER SHE WOULD APPARENTLY CALL MY ATTORNEY AND THEN MY ATTORNEY WOULD CALL ME AND YELL AT ME FOR CALLING INSURANCE CASE MANAGER.

IT SEEMS MY CASE MANAGER CAN GET THRU TO THE ATTORNEY WHEN I CANT. I FEEL SHE IS WORKING MORE FOR INSURANCE COMPANY THAN ME. IVE ONLY HAD TO DEAL WITH AN ATTORNEY ONCE BEFORE BUT WHEN I CALLED HE ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALLS, IF I HAD A PROBLEM OR QUESTION HE GAVE ME ANSWERS. I ASSUMED THAT IS WHAT MY WORKMANS COMP LAWYER WOULD DO ASO.
TOMORROW I PLAN ON MAILING A COPY TO INS CASE MANAGER AGAIN AND ANOTHER COPY TO LAWYER. QUESTION IS -------
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO. I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN IT IS REALLY TAKING ITS TOLL ON ME.

Queen....i wish I could help more but am at a loss. I do know I was always told that when you have an attorney ther should be no contact between the IW and the IC. I believe thisis to protect the IW. I find it to be a disgrace that even your attorney cannot get your PT approved in a timely manner. Hang in there.

THIS GAME PLAYING IS ADDING SO MUCH STRESS -
I AM NOT GOING TO GO THRU THIS BEING STRESSED OUT BY WC AND MY ATTORNEY. I AM O ANGRY AT MYSELF FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN AND EVEN ANGRIER BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. I AM A PUPPET IN THIER GAME AND THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT. I AM BGINNING TO BELIEVE THEY KNOW THE PAIN THEY ARE INFLICTING BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL. WHY NOT IF THEY ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEN THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT.
SORRY I AM JUST UPSET, IN A LOT OF PAIN AND SEE NO ESCAPE FROM THIS HELL. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP OR EAT AND I AM SO TIRED OF BEGGING FOR TREATMNT.
