I think that there needs to be a discussion about patients not recieving fair medical treatment because they are involved in litigation brought about by personal injury. Not all personal injury patients are involved in litigation because they are looking for some easy monetary gain. Some of us have suffered many losses,( JOBS, HOMES, CARS, GOOD CREDIT RATINGS, RELATIONSHIP OR FAMILY ISSUES, DEPRESSION, LOSS OF CONSORTIUM) due to injuries that has kept us from being able to return to work. I think it is completely unfair for some doctors to treat their patients as pariahs once they learn the paitient is involved in litigation. I have a pelvic injury which occurred less than six months after getting married. My entire life is changed, I am not taking narcotic pain meds, I don't lay around and wallow in self pity, I do everything I can to keep going. I have had two rounds of physical therapy, many steroid injections that only helped a little. I walk, do exercises,eat healthy, and take care of my family, though I have some physical limits....I can't, vaccum, mop, sweep, dance, jump, hike, run or climb stairs very well. Yet with definate diagnosis for pelvic neurpathy,and SI joint injury, and chronic sacroilitis, I am left to fix myself because my doctor doesn't want to get any further involved. Not only have I suffered from being injured, but now my integrity is called into question because I am trying to recover through litigation what I have lost financially.....lost wages, medical bills and consideration for my future earnings.I believe that many people out there are going through the same problems that I am, and hope that there will be a good, healthy discussion on this topic.
