Thank you! You have no idea how helpful it is to hear somebody outside of my head. This all occurred following a car accident in January. A week before my surgery on June 12 my job realise this was a Workmans Comp claim and wanted me to stop the appointment and start the whole process over with their doctors in another city. There was no way I could do this given my surgeon said I would be paralysed if I waited any longer so I ended up paying an exorbitant amount out-of-pocket and using my personal insurance. I have been completely drained financially and now neither my Insurance nor Workmans comp wants to be accountable for this. Workmans Comp is refusing any mental health referrals. I just don’t understand how this could be possible. I grew up in the system of medicine being about first do no harm, taking care of pain and the patient. I am just so saddened and depressed by this whole situation.
