Does anyone know if this is also true for the State of Tennessee?? I would like to go after the W/C Dr. for Negligence. He totally ignored the obvious for the sake of the W/C Insurance. He gets lots of W/C business. I fell in our walk - in freezer at work. I have a condition called RSD, Nerve Damage. I was in stage 1 when I saw him, now at the end of stage 3. I had a broken piece of bone spur in the top of my foot, he put off surgery for over 4 months, just kept "scratching his head". I finally ended up at a Pain Management Dr, who is a great guy by the way! He actually saw the piece of bone sticking out of my foot. Thats the only way I ended up getting the surgery. He raised enough hell that the Dr did the surgery. I have been told & have read so many things..like I would have to pay back the W/C benifits I have recieved if I won a settlement from this Dr. I am still off work, will be rated in about a month I think. I will have long term problems from this. It is a shame that these Dr's have forgotten their oath's for the sake of $$. ANy info will be appreciated. If you know a way I can find out nay court cases showing this has helped an injured employee please let me know. Thanks, Good Health to everyone! |
