I am a person on medical disability from my job since 10/00 due to a broken leg. I was casted for 12 weeks. I have been in rehab since 1/12/01 and have exhausted my 60 day benefit period while only having had 14 rehab sessions due to doctors orders. I am still in a brace, cannot drive, leave the house without assistance or without crutches, cannot bend my knee, cannot return to work. I have filed an appeal for extension of benefits which could take from 5-30 days. In the meantime, I am getting no rehab and quite possibly will suffer a setback before, and if and when I am approved again. I'm in that situation where what the patient needs, what the doctor wants does not matter. My life is in the hands of an insurance company. I have been advised to get an attorney by my physician, but I don't know where to start. I will lose my job over this as they do not have to hold it past 4/1/01, and I will not be ready to return to work at that time. I need help. I need an Erin Brokovich!! I live in Pennsylvania.
