Legal Question
What can one do if doctor's refuse to see a patient with a 19 year long workers' Comp. case needing medical attention for the injury?
The case is with The Department of Labor (FICA). They (United States Department of Labor) sent me for a second opinion to a doctor in April 2009 who said that I am permanently disabled, caused by my on-the-job injury in 1990, and I have reached maximum recovery.
After 19 years on Workers' Comp. I will be unable to return to any type work.
My doctor of record for 14 years got into trouble with IRS and had to close his practice. I was seeing him every 3 months, receiving shots in my shoulder and/or hip.
My paper work states that if I wanted to, I could be seen at any military or veteran institution. I would like to do that. How do I do that?
The last doctor refused to see me on last Thursday.
Thanks for your help.
Emily
