Work Comp Crock or Come Let us Kill Ya!
Hubby tore his knee up a while back and workmans comp has been dragging their heels and throwing pain meds at the problem instead of fixing it with the operation he needs!
Today hubby came home doubled over in pain and I know for a fact hubby is no wuss if he says it hurts he has got to be almost dying.
So I called up the work comp nurse in charge of his case the convo went like this:
Me: Hi hubby is in much pain from kidneys could his pain meds be causeing this?
WC Nurse" Oh No!!! It could not possibly be what we prescribed but have him come see us , DONT GO TO ANYONE ELSE!!!"
Me: Um...Ooookay.
Me: (after hanging up and taking him to our private Dr.)Hi there its me again I took him to our private dr and he says that one of the main side effects of meds you put hubby on is kidney problems and you need to change his meds!!!
WC Nurse: BUT...I Told You NOT to go to anyone else.
Me:(thinking to my self) Yes and I suppose you also dont want me to sue you for lying to me right?
WC Nurse:just send him down here and we will change his meds right away.
Me: yes I certainly would think so! Thank you and bye.
What is frightening is my speculation of how many people they get away with this type of thing on before someone like us catches them!
I suppose if they killed him with a bad drug I could get rich off the malpractice but it would be too much like work training a new husband!
