Worker's compensation pays for worker's injuries acquired during course of employment. Since you were on hospital grounds, then you should be covered under worker's compensation. They will pay for your medical bills. They should also pay for disability and lost of wages. The doctor's will usually determine if you are qualified for disability benefits. Keep all documentation in records in case there is a deterioration in your physical condition. Not sure if they will pay for the embarrasment this caused you because i think if you accepted medical payments, that is your compensation for the injury. It's like your auto insurance, you can't sue who is at fault anymore if they will pay for all your medical and physical liability. That is why there is insurance like this to avoid anymore legal claims. But I think if you want to pursue it legally and deemed you deserve more than just medical pay and disability if this applies, do not accept the medical care and disability.

Hello everyone! Kamusta na kayong lahat. Hugs!

can nurses give say over the counter medicine to patients? i don't think any nurses are allowed to give any kind of medication since this should be the doctor's job? just curious....
