I put more on facebook that happened but it was just.. so fucking surreal. he was so hostile to me I felt like I should have called my lawyer and had her there or someone there.

If it wasn't a worker's comp issue I would have told him off for how unprofessional he was and walked out the door.

Oh no, askye! I'm so sorry. That is beyond awful.

A lot of people are really irrationally certain that everyone on or applying for worker's comp is trying to cheat the system, like no one could actually deserve to be taken care of for being injured it's all scams, and it really pisses me off. Just yesterday I was overhearing one of my coworkers advising her daughter who is being given the runaround on her worker's comp claim and wondering if she could benefit from your experience but I don't know that there's any benefit to be had, it's all just a horrible mess. I hope your lawyer can help you get somewhere better in all this.

Yeah I hope so, I dunno.

I keep saying that I just want to go back to work and that I'm trying ot have realistic expectations which the dr didn't even ask me what they were but I did manage to tell him although I don't think he paid attention.

Between my outrage over this, askye, and just common or garden variety sick and tired of working ness I am about ready to call it a day and get started on my 4 glasses of wine.

Always Anti-fascist!

there are a lot of prick doctors out there...by which I don't mean, like, urology. Disability in particular seems to be full of bitter assholes. I'm sorry.

Thanks, i'm just.. I felt like he barely spent time with me and he was making all these proclamations about my life (like not related to the work injury, just in general).

but whatever. This too shall pass and like 7 or 8 years ago this whole situation would have broken me for awhile.

I went looking and found some reviews there were either 5 star "oh my god Dr is the best, most amazing doctor" or 1 star reviews about how awful he is, how he called patients liars, cursed at them, and broke patient privilege by laughing at a patient. Hell he was so rude to one lady's kid after a music lesson when they had some kind of encounter that she left a 1 star review warning people away from him. I don't remember the details on that but he leaves an impression

I wonder what the deal is with the 5 star reviews.
