Then, when the vascular surgeon prescribed the blood thinners, WC took three days to approve the medication simply because of the cost of the meds. So in all, SEVEN days went by from initial diagnosis to beginning treatment.

What is this that you speak of with Allen? Fill me in please.
WC certainly explains the "dropping of the ball." It is a disasterous system. I have personally seen a lot of injuries made MUCH worse by the involvement of WC.

Allen, whose screen name I can't recall, had a vascular injury I believe, that caused an eventual onset of CRPS. Not unheard off...

I am sorry for your loss. But you are amoungst friends here!
