I worked as a senior case manager for a private company, in SW Florida, for almost ten years. My responsibilities included medical and vocational rehab and management. We dealt mostly with WC and liabilities clients. I was certified as a vocational counselor and was, at the time, the only nurse certified by the Department of Labor for District VI, to deal with injuried federal workers. I really enjoyed my job, which combined a great deal of travel, within Florida and outside.
Unfortunately, I suffered a WC injury, on a secondary seasonal job, was hit by a big rig, returning from a medical appointment, and haven't worked since. My old boss did her best but the picture had changed and my injuries were too great. Unfortunately, my WC carrier was not as open minded. Nor was my nurse case manager. She acted as if I were taking HER money
, fought me tooth and nail
for every procedure and piece of equipment I need. Some put a company's priorities before the client's.
