I spent the day in hell!

[capricorn]

IME is done, thank God. It started with being picked up in a filthy dirty Jeep driven by a man maybe in his 30's. Had to go to one of the city hospitals. we have around 8 of them. The address was clear cut. He first dropped me off at the wrong hospital and I thought OMG let the games begin. Had to wait for him to come back and get me. The he dropped meoff at the wrong location a second time. This time I couldn't walk anymore or get back in the car. he had already left and I was frantic. Thank God I was in a hospital and a very nice orderly put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me the 3 blocks to where I had to go. By the time he put me in front of the receptionist I broke down crying. A nurse from my attorney 's office was ther thank God and that helped calm me. I knew she was friendly territory. I waited in the outer room for 30 minutes and then in the examining room for the Dr. for 50 minutes. Now I am screeming in pain. He spent 10 minutes with me, got the point I was in pain and that not much had been done to help me in over a year. Done in 10 minutes after spending 2 hours in hell. I will never go through this again. You will probably all here me talking to my attorney tomorrow.LOL I'm glad that's over at least for 6 months. I need to find a Dr. to see me tomorrow as I am in agony and have nothing for pain. The IME seemed surprised that I took no meds and that no PT had been done on several body parts. he also insinuated that another shoudler surgery was in order. OMG! No I can't take it again.

Sweet tooth....I had a note reminding me that God was with me and my whole IW family. knowing I wasn't alone really helped.

Merciful Lord Cap what a bunch of idiots. I am so sorry that happened to you, if you remember my awful fight to Denver that time, you know I can relate. I would just go to ER tonight and be done with it. I am praying for you and hope you feel better soon.

cap wow i am so sorry thank you so much yesterday for talking to me i went to the comp dr today and once again got the run around....my employer finally filled out an an injury report after 2 months and said the past 2 months mean nothing you go from here so i basically had to lie to the dr and say my injury was last week well then i got interogated from the drs which was pure hell and all they did was give me a muscle relaxer and pain killers and i have to go for an mri and physical therapy

[Tuffy]

Good Grief, Talk about stupid !!!!! What goes thru these IC heads, Now ya all know why everything takes so long, It has to sink into there little brains. Sorry it was so bad for you Cap, I also agree with Sithie, go to the ER if your pain is that bbad and make sure WC gets the bill as it is there fault you are hurting so.

[Bummer Knees]

Cap, please take care. I will say a prayer for you tonight.

If the pain continues to stay then please go to ER.

[CRABBY]

I can't believe your driver left you without checking you in? what a moron....I want his job....nothing worse that sitting waiting for doctor when your not feeling good and in pain...why can't we bill them for our time?...I hope you go to the ER like Tuffy and sifie said...why suffer any more than you have to..not one more minute....

[Spring]

Oh Cap...I am so sorry you have had to suffer through a day like this...when there is no reason what so ever for it. Makes me so anger...to hear this kind of treatment. Hopefully the Dr. will be honest and do the right thing. Please do as Sithie and Tuffy said just go to the ER and get some treatment...so you don't have to suffer anymore. I will never understand how people can think that this kind of treatment should be legal...something just has to change.

[cfree1961]

Cap sorry to hear of your HORRIBLE day please, please if the pain is that bad go to ER as the rest has said no one or IC is worth that much pain and greif and let them foot the bill this is unexcuseable! and a bunch of s---! I hope you get some relief soon and you can feel better. And if you have to again goto ER it is not worth suffering like that.

It is really awful that you had to go through all of that. But now, and I hate to say this, you have evidence that there is 'nowt right in town.' I hate to say it, but when you go without the meds the evidence is there. There is a reason to be going through all of this. I know that is seems impossible, but there really is. And maybe for us to find a way to highlight the problem is it. I don't know. But I DO know that many more will have the same sort of experience. Only because the message that goes out is that we are a bunch of time wasters and moochers. I've only been part of this for a few weeks, and only those who know me really well know that I could not waste my time doing this sort of thing. Other than that.........I've met a few, already, who see me as someone who wants to "Take Advantage" of the system. Really?!? What is there, I ask, that I could possibly want to take advantage of? Oh yes, I love being paid much less than what I earned. I love not being able to provide for my daughter. I love being behind in my mortage. I love feeling like I have no control over anything. I absolutely LOVE being unable to live the life I truely love........hiking, walking the dogs, driving for longs hours to absolutely nowhere.

Yep. I must be taking advantage of the system.
