I called Stanford yesterday and left a voicemail for the person who called me to say the two appointments were denied. I e-mailed my attorney...After many phone calls back and forth today.. my last call to Stanford had good news....

She said that WC told her that WC had made a mistake........
that the appointments on Tuesday were authorized ....and that they told Stanford they were not authorized...in error
If I had not made calls and e-mailed my attorney, etc, those two appointments on Tuesday would have fallen through the cracks....the appointments were re-instated for Tuesday..

My heart goes out to people who don't know how to navigate the red tape, and the duplicity...
"Hmmmm, let's make a "mistake" and maybe no one will question it..."

I am hoping this was not the case...I am hoping that indeed it was an error.

My left foot and lower leg are off the charts with burn and are beet red(can lidocain patches cause this)...it is getting worse daily....and spilling over to my right limb..I hope the new team can help, and the ins. cooperates.

Sandy, you are on a treacherous path with your situation and I hope you have enlisted an attorney who will support you, is knowledgable, and is a warrior, ready to battle for you..
The irony is that we try to remain peaceful and find equanimity, while having to pounce at any moment to protect ourselves...

I cannot believe that WC has halted any treatment for you while you wait....
Can Mike's information re: "first party bad faith" apply to your situation?
Dear friend, I am by your side...especially on Tuesday..

Mike, I will keep your information at hand in case additional "little errors" at the 11th hour surface over the next several weeks..I know you go through a lot of effort and time to excavate the information we need..you are incredibly kind..

Hope4thebest
