I don't know the specifics of your case, but it sounds like it is a WC issue. You just can't get thru to a doc whose paycheck comes from the ins. carrier! In general, if you are treating with a doc your employer/insurance carrier sent you to , then you are at their mercy as they are paid by the ins. co. so extrapolate from that! Sounds like you need an advocate for you, if you are are represented, then your attorney should have a competent doc who will see you without bias. If that is already the case and all is askew, then you need to change attorney/doc as they are clearly not giving you an objective opinion. If your attorney's secretary was thinking you're only ot for the "money," then she will be out of a job soon as the attorney is usually paid a percentage of your settlement! Go figure!
