Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Kathy, Call your attorney you can probably appeal the decision or go before a judge. That doctor did what he was paid to do. Wish the news had been better, I know how hard it is.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Kathy, My Mom went through this with a hip injury. They kept denying everything until she ended up in court. I think that is your next step, too. Sorry you're having to endure this.
