1st Accident= T-Boned by a Tractor Trailer, (I was in a pickemup) and the frame of MY truck was BENT like well, bad!
A frame goes straight, mine went like sort of a little 'U'. Also the TTrailer could not be driven from the scene.
WE made the News!

I went 7 years with No DX! (Oh, I'm sorry, Severe Strain and Sprain).
I went to the Dr Who was on the Cover of the Phila/Inquierer, Sunday Paper, he did all the work for our wonderful, Phila. Sport Teams! Dam, did he do an exam on me! He picked and poked at my spine (where most of my pain centered @ the time), and told me. "I don't know what you have. But, it's not operable, It's All microscopic. I can see how your back, your nerves, your flesh all respond to my stimuli! You cannot be fixed! I'm so, so sorry. He was a great man. He did advise some PT, and a TENS unit. And followed up. But,
he was an Ortho!
It's just not within the realm of these folks training!
They need to learn, how to hand a situation like ours off, to a Neuro. But, I don't think they trust one another?
I don't know?


The first thing that my next doctor noticed, (Once I was smart enough to get the heck away from Ortho's (my fault, or theirs? ) I heard Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, "TOS".
Which, is exactly what you're all talking about. Barbaric tests! OMG, you wouldn't want to go through them!
"Brachial Plexus" IS a form of TOS = Thoracic Outlet Syndrome!" Right?? Do we all get that??
Or, does someone still think I may be wrong? (I'd much rather that you tell me!)

Saw over 100 doctors. LITERALLY! These were the days in PA where we had unlimited from our Auto! Didn't hafto OK anything , and the docs turned into (A Bad Word). Just Sign Here. coverage.

Got to the point, where I refused to sign!
NO, you're not gonna waste MY time, and Bill my Ins Co. for it!
(None of those jerks EVER chased me)~!
(Why, or how could they?)

Weird thing, Nationwide and to a lesser extant, State Farm lobbied this bill in. And, then just as quickly lobbied it out.
If, for an instant, you don't think BIG BUSINESS runs this country, Get a Bat, and Hit yourself in the Head! Lightly!
Because the other side is WORSE!
(Why did this Happen? ((Michael?))
It's my position, that, the ins. Co's thought they'd wrap it all in under the WComp laws! Nope! Didn't quite work out that way!
HIT REVERSE!




Great to have you great friend, to rant (speak) to!!!!


love,
