“Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don’t dare express themselves as we did.” …Sophie Scholl

Sophie tells the court that “where we stand today, you [ ] will stand soon.”

‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’

Date of Traumatic Brain Injury, an observed slip and fall backwards, in which manager helped injured worker off the ground after a prolonged period on the ground, unable to get up alone, dazed and confused:  January 9, 2012 —-  and somehow Defense firm alleges the TBI did not happen at work?  D’oh!

Wyndham Worldwide has graciously provided unpaid “leave of absence” with sporadic disability benefits and some chiropractic and clinical psychologist sessions in 2012, and physical therapy in 2013, then some speech therapy, occupational therapy and more physical therapy in year in 2014, with a few acupuncture treatments and EVALUATIONS BY APPROXIMATELY 40 DOCTORS since date of injury  (huh??)

Hotel discount vouchers have been graciously provided by Wyndham Worldwide Human Resources so that self discovered and self-procured brain injury program could be attended since October 2014, but no help to get medical care or proper primary treating doctors for clearly diagnosed brain injury.  One workcomp QME neurologist said that ‘women over the age of 35 are not entitled to medical care for traumatic brain injury.’  Will someone else please notify the ADA and EEOC and ACLU and NLG?  Thanks.  That ABA doesn’t seem to care, nor does CAAA.

Did ALL those doctors all fail to properly fill out the recommendations for medical care? How about the crew of doctors who just changed the date of injury to 2013, then used 2012 reports to falsely allege ‘pre-existing’ brain injury?  D’oh!

No worries, fraud is apparently not prosecuted in WorkComp cases, even if it violates Article 14 of the State of California Constitution  and even when it violates the 5th and 14th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America. Whaaaaat?  Yeah, the #Workcompsters seem to have some sort of exemption from prosecution.  Could somebody ask the ACLU and NLG to look into that further?  Thanks!

While leave has been extended repeatedly, there has been no effort by the employer to intervene or audit failures of the work comp carrier to provide medically necessary treatments since date of injury.  “Proper Notice of MPN” is apparently telling an injured worker “see any doctor that takes work comp insurance” and providing injured worker with an incomplete DCW-1 form to give to the doctor (without any insurance company information on it.)  My my my.  Wyndham Wyndham Wyndham!

Efforts requesting mediation were met with further hostilities and insults, including calls to injured worker asking, “…when ARE you going to die?” and bullying recommendation that injured worker consider a Court Appointed Conservator to finalize maneuvers through the obfuscation of the #WorkComp Legal Chicanery. Complaints have been made to multiple law enforcement agencies.

Since injured worker’s primary workcomp treating doctor, for a brain injury, has been primarily an Orthopedic Surgeon, who apparently got tired of the threats of exclusion from a highly profitable referral network by insurance carrier for attempting since February 2013 to get specialized brain injury further evaluations and treatment is now off the case,  since December 2014.  The secondary doctor, a neuro-psych found by injured worker in April 2014, self-procured and then authorized as an exception, has been off the case since April 2015.  What’s an injured worker to do without a primary treating doctor and without competent legal counsel?  Yikes!

No doctors have yet been willing to take liability to release injured worker to date without medical care back to work, and now the Catch 22 seems to be to find a doctor willing to re-evaluate, review all records, and determine the improvements made at the self-procured COASTLINE ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY PROGRAM, since October 2014, with the continuation and completion of program anticipated through December 2015, and if and when return to work with or without accommodations may happen.  

Social Security Disability has recently determined that the injured worker is chronically and permanently disabled.  Injured Worker does not want to be “disabled” and is working very hard to learn compensatory strategies for cognitive losses and impairments.
