Sorry I didn't answer that before. No he does not have medical insurance. My fathers' auto insurance covered most of it for a while, then they sent him to a doctor that said that 3 more sessions of physical therapy and he would be all better. The doctor he was sent to never even looked or touched his back, he even had coveralls on from work. Yet he stated that there were no back spasms evident. Unfortunately he also said that the problems could be from a pre-existing problem, that was back in last April. Yet we have an orthopedic doctor, a pain management doctor, an orthopedic surgern, and a neuro surgeon who states that he definately has problems and now needs surgery to correct it.
The doctor who examend him didn't even get half the test results needed to make a determination since the tests hadn't been performed yet! We also have x-rays from 1997, when his back locked up, that shows his spine was fine. It was a muscle lock up. Now we may have problems because now there is doubt as to if this auto accident had indeed caused this injury. We know it did, because he did not have any problems with his back until after this accident and he has had no prior accidents. Also, my fathers' auto insurance paid for part of his lost time due to the accident and the time he had to take off for doctor appointments and physical therapy. All in all, it's pretty messed up. Any help you can give would be appreciated. There is so much going on in this, I'm trying to keep it all straight. If there are any other questions you need to ask to help you figure this out, let my know. The more you know the better advice you can give. Again, THANK YOU!!!
