How in the world can a Doctor say you have a pre-existing condition unrelated to your work, when if you had never worked a day in your life you would not have ANY pre-existing conditions or injury for that matter. This is the biggist bunch of hog wash I have ever heard of. What they are saying is if you expose yourself to a labor intense job and get hurt, your not going to get treated for it. I would like to know what the point of even having WORKERS Comp. is if you work hard and get hurt and then they can use this pre-existing B.S. to get out of allowing you fair and timely treatment of your work related injury.
Thank you......
