Hello
I had my IME Dr Apt yesterday and it was 100 mils from my home and it is below 0 here in Mich, I am very close to lake Mi, so its cold
from the start it was bad, the drive all the way there and then he said my friend could not come in the room with us, even after my lawyer said yes she could, they kick her out, and then spent 20 mins with me, 20 mins to see if I have full body RSD!!!
he wanted me to walk I took one step for him, he said again I want you to walk for me, I told him I just did, that, that was about all I could do,
he wanted me to get up on this old wooden table, that is higher then I can get up on, he had this very little step for me to step on, I was in full body spasm and I had to sit back down, I was getting ready to fall over
my arm was still on the table (my bad arm)and I told the them I need my W/C and I tried to sit in there before going down, nope no one pulled my W/C up to me,or reach out a hand to get me, I only could get half my bottom in it,it was just to far back from me to make it all the way in there and then my arm was still on the table, kind of stuck up there, I did yell for someone get me, before going down
I guess the nurse kind of cough on when I could not bring my body up and was going to fall out of my W/C so she grab my waste and pulled me back and I YELLED in PAIN! that IME Dr ask me why I was falling out of my W/C and why did I yelled in pain? and he did not even try to help, then he still wanted me to get up on the table, I told him over and over I am not refusing to do that but that I can't, I ask if I could sit in the big chair there was in there and he said no,
I told him I was in really bad pain, ever where he touch me was so painful
I have full body RSD, and my foot looks really bad, one toe nail is gone and my toes are curled under my foot and he never look at them, but he did ask me what was wrong with my foot, I told him it was like that last year when you seen me, but now its a lot worse, he said yep, then he took temps of all 4 ex, and hands where at 98 and feet where at 88
and sweaty and my bad foot was changing color, great timing, he seen it
I told him I did not know what was wrong with it, (like he did not know what was wrong with it)
he ask me about the Dr that did DX me with RSD and wanted to know if he was still treating me, I told him the Dr could only see me 2 times and on are 3rd apt Medicare said no, that they where not going to pay for him due to RSD is from Auto, (he ask) and I am still not being treated for it, no pain meds no no no no no to everything, is all medicare says, the Dr that Dx me wanted to start some meds and start some type of treatment, but that was stop
I felt like telling him thanks to his last report of lies,
but I was being as nice as I could, besides saying ouch ouch over and over
they really just don't get it, I was in full body spasm and my skin was crowing with pain and burning he never ask me what type of pain I was having, never look at hair lost, never ask me where my bursae knees are from never ask me a thing about what my pain was like, not a thing
I did not say anything till ask, kept quit, my breathing was heaving
and my weak leg is smaller then the outer one, last year I told him the outer leg was weaker and that leg was smaller then now its bigger then the outer one, I guess they looking for lost of muscle mass?
he wanted me to hop, walk back words, get up on my tipping toes, and none of witch I could do for him he ask me what can I do, I told him fall
witch I just did that morning before going there, and that was the 3rd time with in 2 days, so I do not do much of walking I told him I live alone (he knows that)
then he said he was done,
made some notes, and then had one more test for me, (thought he said he was done) oh well, he took a tooth pick and pock me in both arms, even on the one that is in a big flair up, the one that got stuck up on the table, I yelled again,
He walk out I said have a good weekend and there was my best friend standing at the door, and could hear everything going on, I do not think he was very happy to see her standing out there, after telling her to go to the lobby,
she did ask the Dr was the a reason why she could not be in the room?
he told her that he would not exam me if she did not leave....
my Lawyer did tell me that I could walk out if he would not let her stay in the room, but I thought , this is just going to hold up everything and I am still going to have to come back, but my god I do not have any thing to hide,
this is real, and it is so painful and just did not want to go back, there,

and I had everything on tape, I had it with me the hole time being in there
even got him admitting to things he did last year that was out of line
and some of his lies, like the nurse she was the same one from last year I ask, because I did get up on that table last year and scared that I was going to fall off of it, so I held on to her pant leg and he made her leave my side
I beg for him to let her stay next to me and he said no , and told her to go to the outer side of the room so I ask if this was the same nice nurse that was there last year that I wanted to hold on to her pant leg , he said yes it was,
my Lawyer knew I was taping him, and my Lawyer said that he broke the law,
by not letting my friend stay in there with me, and the IME Dr made that is very load and clear! about 6 times on there, that is also how I know how much time he took with me there is a timer on it
I told him what I had on tape, and he said do not lose it do not erase it, get it to him ASAP ,,,,

so dose anyone think I should of walk out? I think I did the right thing by staying in there, and just getting it over, the good thing is,
the Lawyers had a settlement meeting and all 3 Lawyers are 100% on my side
and wanted them to settle this for what we are asking for,
I just did not want to come off like I was trying to get out of it

now that, that's all over, my 20 mins of he@% and 200 mils later I am home and my pain is so high up there, I been having panic attacks all day also,
not sure if I did the right thing,and I am mad that he hurt me so much and did not say a thing about it, just ask me why am yelled, and why was I falling out of my W/C ,,,, oops one more thing ,,, after everything was done, he ask me if I could just lay down on that table, !! after all of that,
what nerve,

thank you for taking the time to read this,

PS after seeing how he would not help me when I was going down, I can just think what if I could of get up on that table, and what if I had fallen, I seen how he would not help me and let me almost fall to the floor,

my last GP Dr apt it took my friend and a nurse to get me on to a good table
and they would not let her leave in fear of me coming off of it
I was in full body spasm that day also,
that was Dec, 2, I do not get up on tables I cannot even get in my own bed
it is upstairs, I stay down here all day and night, I am down about 23 hr a day

Wow! at least here in CA you have to see an IME/QME that is no more than 25 minutes away on a paved road. That is the law!

thank you,,,,I am moving there! I only wish I could

I love that law, you know what you just gave me a good idea
look in to that law and see if they can get that pass here..
do you know what that law is under? or how to find it?
I talk to the lady here in Mich, that help get the law pass for that RSD is real
and all med and so on have to know about it, sorry I can not spell all the words right,
here in Mich they love to send you as far as they can no matter what is wrong with you, I am learning the hard way, and hate it, but not enough to quit fighting for my rights and what I paid for,


Peace

Kelly
