My personal belief is the whole workmans comp thing is a crock of unpleasant smelling stuff. My Dr's, therapists did also see regular patients, but a large part was worman's comp. They all seem to know each other by name. I am also of a belief that the lawyers are involved. I know there are people out there that are conning worman's comp. But those of us that are sincere are getting painted with the same brush. We are not being treated as a whole person but as body parts only. I am now having to push my lawyer to push on the anxiety depression acquired during the mess of the last 2 1/2 years-still not able to work. Voc Rehab(also make most of their money from workmans comp) said they can help me find a job-everything that they have suggested so far is jobs I have done but I can not even do for myself any more let alone for a boss. There is a point system for pain-but none for numbness or electric shocks. Well I will quit complaining now. I hope things work out better for you. And keep up the good fight. lynne
