He gave me ultram that just barely touches the pain so I haven't taken it unless it gets real bad, and the compound gel helps the burn but wc wouldn't pay for it. I pd for it.
Do I have a right to ask the nurse case mgr to wait outside?
You absolutely have the right to ask them to wait outside. They can speak to the doctor after you have finished your visit. My fiance' had a nurse case mgr. who came to his visits for awhile. Once he said to her that he felt more comfortable with her waiting outside, she never came to another appointment. But yes, I would definitely tell her that you would rather her not be in the room. There is nothing she can do but document it.
good luck!
