Remember Remember the First Amendment. PS Is it true that if you don’t know what your rights are, you don’t have any?
“NOT IN THIS COUNTRY!”
Get your travel-passes ready for the upcoming Facebook WorkComp/Injured Worker Virtual Field Trip!
See the Industry “Top Blogs” links below and “Arm Up” — #OccupyVirtually!
WE ARE THE MEDIA NOW …. #DodgeTheRads ….
MyWorkCompCoach.com says when one thing doesn’t work, we do other stuff, by any and every means necessary and available.
Since the Wilson’s “Best Blogs 2016” results are in, and apparently none of the 3 or 4 Injured Worker blogs made the list, and too few Injured Workers are able to blog for survival, let’s try another strategy. Share more at the National Association of Injured and Disabled Workers NAIDW.org AND….
IF YOU ARE AN INJURED WORKER, attempt to write your story in 500-700 words or less, and submit, as a guest blogger, to each of the “Winners” in the recent contest. Links are below.
If you like, provide a courtesy copy of your submission to the author or various authors to WorkCompLinda@gmail.com for follow up. We’ll see what we can do to pave the way to incite open-ness to your stories.
What’s YOUR WorkComp Story – A Questionnaire by MyWorkCompCoach.com
Maybe resubmit your story to the good people who did the 2015 series INSULT TO INJURY: THE DEMOLITION OF WORKERS COMPENSATION? They still say: GET INVOLVED – HELP US INVESTIGATE What Happens When Americans Are Hurt on the Job? Help ProPublica Investigate.
(Print a copy and take to your doctor and send to your attorney and remind them of their oath and their fiduciary responsibilities. If they need more support, encourage them to read Congress’s October 2015 letter offer to send in law enforcement, if required. It seems to be required, doesn’t it. Send in the National Guard to protect injured workers and other taxpayers while WorkComp is transformed or demolished. )
The industry seems to be choosing demolitions based on the willful ignorance, arrogance and obfuscation of facts and other media deceptions and distractions.
We’ll also ask again at the Sedgwick Institute – LinkedIn group for a committee to review your stories, whether or not you are a Sedgwick or other TPA casualty or horror story. Carpe Diem!
You might also Google search Legal Intake – National ACLU for local, state and national legal intake resources, if necessary.
WCBinjury.com [an Injured Worker Blog nominated for the Wilson ‘best blogs 2016’ event, didn’t make mention, either] would also welcome hearing from you.
Submit your stories or copies to InjuredWorker@WCBinjury.com Be sure to read their page, The Constitutional Right to Blog. KEEP COPIES OF EVERYTHING, or easier yet, BLOG ABOUT IT!
Then, get to work on creating your own blog, control your own content. WordPress.com or Blogger.com can get you started. Keep it simple; just get started.
Since the “Agenda” of the National WorkComp Discussions leans toward OPIATE TRAFFICKING, insinuating that most Injured Workers are lazy fakers who prefer a life of poverty, pain and homelessness as a “opiate dependent” or “street drug addict,” be sure to include YOUR experience with doctors and drugs and failed surgeries in your stories.
- Have you been prescribed opiates?
- For what condition and body part(s)
- For how long?
- Have there been painful lapses of denied drugs?
- Is your pain condition a consequence of a failed surgery or foreign objects left behind in a botched surgery?
- How long have you been waiting for a hearing for your right to medical care?
- How long have you been waiting for corrective surgery?
- Are you represented by counsel?
- What was your date of injury…
Once the ‘experts’ have your date of injury, condition and body parts involved, they already know what you’ve been through, so do you best to stick with the facts.
