LET ME PICK YOUR QME FROM THE PANEL FOR YOU. FREE.

Any doctor 'in bed' with the Insurance Company can write things that are not true, and write you out of a job (and out of health insurance... potentially deadly for you).

So, you need to pick doctors from here on out extremely carefully, including your surgeons.

Have you done any research on the doctors you are agreeing to see and agreeing to write reports about you??

check on the doctors on google, vitals.com, healthgrades.com, caaa.org, yelp, manta, yahoo to see what other patients have written about these doctors.

YOU SHOULD ONLY BE WITH A BOARD-CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON FOR HANDS or a general 'orthopedic' could make the elbow and wrists WORSE just to make their Mercedes payment with the surgery bills.

I've seen it happen... general orthopedic surgeons botch hand and wrist and elbow surgeries daily. RESEARCH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE HE CUTS. ask if he is or knows a "BOARD-CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON FOR HANDS".

there is always the option of getting an attorney, but if you choose this MAKE CERTAIN YOU HIRE ONLY A CERTIFIED SPECIALIST IN WORKERS COMPENSATION so you get referred to a really well-qualified surgeon.

YOU CAN email me at [email protected] when you get the list of 3 docs from the Medical Unit in Oakland so I can pick the doc most friendly to injured workers... if you want too long the INsurance Adjuster will get to pick and you'll end up seeing the Anti-Christ for a second opinion and lose your job and health insurance.
