What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I was injured on a Job on Nov of 2011 and I have been through hell! I reported the injury and I was scheduled with a Doctor who refused to see me. They claimed they had not received the fax for billing from the Insurance company! So I asked the adjuster is there anywhere you can get me? I was supposed to have transportation setup...But they called and canceled! The adjuster finally sent me to an emergency care facility whom basically did nothing! That Doctor said you need to go to an orthapedic surgeon. So after weeks of time the adjuster again set me up with a family medicine center out if my local town about a 40 minute drive! Then a few days before called me and said I think it would be better for you to go to an Orthapedic doctor! So again it took more weeks to get in there. Finally in front of the Doctor while trying to explain the accident and the places I was having pain! The Doctor screams STOP THAT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!! So I shutup.....he said here is what I am going to do I want you to go do 8 weeks of physical therapy 3 times a week! I was thinking great that doesn't help the pain at all!! I went through quite a few weeks of physical therapy and my therapist discovered something I was describing as nerve damage from my back! So I wound back up with this doctor again he sent me for 3 MRI's. I was finally getting somewhere I thought.....it took weeks to get back in to hear what the MRI said.....on the in between I knew a Radiologist and had a disc of the MRI's too. So I sent it off to them and they gave me a reading of it so I knew what it said before I got back to this Doctor. While sitting there in front of him he said this and this is wrong with your knees.....and your back is fine!.....I said that is not true and told him about the MRI firm I had read the disc! He was speechless! I d caught him in a lie! I asked for a copy of the paperwork he had and it stated there were two bulging disc in my back! at L4 and L5. He no longer treated me from there on.....I wound up hiring a lawyer and I have been through hell! Is there anyway I can file medical malpractice against this Doctor???? I basically have been given up on and my back never treated at all! We have finally had to give up and my right leg and back and foot are messed up to this day! I will never be able to work again! Can some one please help me here??
