receipts in the shower

Wow it didn’t take me long to get overly depressed today. i was in the shower thinking about how I had already submitted some, certainly not all receipts to SCIF. No one said anything about a form to go along with them, just said yeah, send them copies of receipts. Last month I had submitted 3 co-pay receipts from the first psychiatrist I saw and subsequently took me off work, and also about 6-7 receipts from my chiropractor. Of course nothing has materialized, except of course that the letter my massage therapist wrote is now part of my medical file, because that went along with these receipts. Again this stuff was served to SCIF and their lawyer over a month ago. Counting days, it has been a week since going before the Judge, and I have not heard back from SCIF on anything which was supposed to be hashed out last week. Way to go “System” just keep on failing me. In 37 days I will be 26 1/2. I want my 20’s back. I want my life back. I want to have friends again. No these aren’t tears of joy. I’m dying inside, and they’ve just let me waste away, they don’t care. Hopefully just writing about this will allow my mind to cease thinking about this for a day, or even a few hours of peace would be lovely. I need to be back in California, I certainly never left willingly. I lost my life, thanks to the inadequate, inappropriate care provided and paid for by SCIF, along with their consistent failures to authorize or deny treatments, and consultations, which left me nowhere for over a year. They are ultimately responsible. Writing about my life and how I feel seems like a bad EMO song.

So last night I only got about 2 hours of sleep. The range of motion testing really took a toll on me.

I also couldn’t sleep because my mind was thinking. It’s 10:36am I’m supposed to go home tomorrow, I don’t have my new travel arrangements, SCIF hasn’t gotten back to me, I requested to know by 9:30 am.

I’m supposed to have a Neuro Consult today, but I doubt that will happen in all honesty, if it was really possible to be done, the knowledge would have been available yesterday even if it was 4pm when I found out about it in writing.

After speaking with an Information Assistance Officer, I am even more weary/leery of this system, which I have no power or control of. I am merely a bystander to the insurance company’s own power, and abuse. So is the independent QME process, and everything that goes along with it.

Workers’ Compensation Dreamin’

It’s all too often that I am unable to sleep, sometimes for days on end. There are only two days left of 2006. This time in my state of being awake, and looking at my logs for referrers I’ve come across some more interesting stuff to process. The lack of required mental health care and physical treatment has left me altered to say the least. I am emotionally unstable, I cry almost daily, and days I don’t I hold back my tears some how. I write in a blog because it is MY outlet. I don’t have a professional to talk to regularly anymore and this feels like the healthy thing to do. I honestly feel homicidal at times, and suicidal the rest of the time, again I fight my urges, feeling exhausted. I didn’t used to feel this way, I feel the medications that were last prescribed to me had a huge effect on this. You may have heard of it, Cymbalta. But I will get into that later.

Twas the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Nothing was stirring, but my keypad and mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that a SCIF email should have be there.

The injured worker unable to sleep sound in his bed,
While visions of required treatments danced in his head.
And father in his ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I hobbled in pain,
Tore open the shutters and threw up again.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
After months of delay, and years of deceit,
What arrived next was the postal receipts.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Postal guy Nick.
More rapid than eagles the vultures they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now Donovan! now, Dino! now, Sanchez, and McCall!
On, Margret! On, Philip! I can’t name them all!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

The injured worker cramped in a plane headed off to fly,
he kept meeting obstacles, and mounted to the sky.
So up to Orange County the pilots they flew,
With the documents, bad memories and had been lied to.

Restless and waiting, I heard on the roof
The bad faith musings of each little goof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney the Judge came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
Previous rulings he’d made have been ignored by SCIF
And now the injured worker pays for their mischief.

His rulings were just! his smile how merry!
Why shouldn’t the injured worker believe in his theory
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And again I have to write my name the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And here I am now, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his works,
He ruled on my cases now get to work you jerks.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Your settlement will be fair, and all will be right!”

the fucking class a losers who work for SCIF are a bunch of rat fuck dirt bag amoeba.

i wrote them an email last week, because they apparently didn’t think i needed anything more than a plane ticket for my 3 days, 2 night stay in California.

in their lame reply today, apparently they dont understand big words, like accomodations, or reservations. because she knew all to well that i got the plane tickets, and for the umpteenth time yet another copy of 4 years worth of medical documents. but a place to sleep? no way.

I just wrote back,
“Ms Tse,
I would hope that you would have realized what kind of reservations are needed for a multiple day trip to California, or did SCIF just expect me to sleep on the street?

You have less than three hours to make reservations for my hotel room. ”

tick tock bitches!

Ms Tse,
I would hope that you would have realized what kind of reservations are needed for a multiple day trip to California, or did SCIF just expect me to sleep on the street?

You have less than three hours to make reservations for my hotel room.

Our legal department sends their own notices. I will forward your concern to our legal department and they will respond to you directly.

Ms. Tse,

I still have not received anything about my accommodations for my trip
to California. If I do not hear from you by Monday at Noon, I will be
forced to make my own reservations.

I hope you are not going back to acts of bad faith by your negligence
in promptly supplying me with a complete set of travel arrangements.

Also in the last month I Lisa M. Battaglia informed me she was no
longer working on my cases. I would have hoped that you would have
informed me of this change sooner. Please let me know who is her
replacement.
