Withdrawals, sick to death, shaking so bad that I couldn't call the doctor...etc. I hope to get the money back; but I would really like just to maintain. I don't want to convulse (sp?), I don't want a heart-attack. I don't want to scare my kids to death. I just want to have everyone be honest and own up to their responsibilities.
We do have enough in our savings to hopefully cover this (we planned for this). I just don't understand why it is such a fight...It seems totally irresponsible for the medical profession to let this happen. I want to write a letter to the AMA and turn these people in.
Thank you and everyone else for your encouragement. Hope all is well with all of you. (Sorry, I am usually much jovial than I am now...).

Whether or not your case is work comp, to a point your WC doc needs to continue care, or risk malpractice action for patient abandonment. If he drops you, his only alternative would be to concurrently tell you that the WC carrier has denied care as they feel your condition is no longer a WC issue, for a variety of reasons which usually must be backed by IME examination or procedural breach by the treater. You should then be able to pick right up with your personal family doc, post-denial. Treatment wise, that actually would be a better plan of action as your personal doc would be more inclined to help you expeditiously whereas the WC doc will usually, only do what he is authorized to do, otherwise he does not get paid. And since you would be getting denied by WC, you should consider filling out all subsequent demographic paper work that the origin of your compliants is NOT work related (justifiably, as you got denied by WC). Otherwise for the same reason, your family doc cannot see you (for a WC injury). Strange, I know!
