I was working as a CNA in Assisted living and hurt my back. Probably just muscle strain because the psin is under control for the most part. Too prescription NSAIDS and for 3 wks and it's pain almost gone-just intermittent at times.
Had to lift 170-250 immobile pts wiht one assistant!!!! crazy. So much unethical illegal practices goin on in that place. Are they allowed to call themselves assisted living with so many wheel chair bound residents. Only 3/15 could rise out of chair with little help!!
They cut my hours to nothing but didn't fire me. treated me soooo rudely all of a sudden. insulting accustations, hostility.
Filed injury report and workers comp claim.
Don't trust lawyers, they just want you to rack up a bill right away with MRI, PT, orthoped when my doctor wanted me to see if meds work first, to see if its just muscle strain.
employers insurance agent filed supeona for medical records. I filed refusal to provide.
What am i obligated to give the insurer? The relevenat medical bills from my doctor? One lawyer told me don't talk to the adjuster. She tried to get me to have a recorded interview-watch out for that. You're not obligated to do that.
Thanks
