After waiting since June of 2001 for work comp to address my shoulder injury they finally sent me to a decent doctor who, after looking at my x-rays, immediately agreed that I need surgery to correct the problem. Not only that, which in and of itself is fantastic, but he also agrees that the injury is work related and I cannot return to work until the surgery is performed.

What this all means is that I am finally going to be able to go back to work soon. Hopefully with no pain and all my bills caught up!

Thank God for a decent and HONEST doctor! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Sometimes I think Doctors really are just "Practicing" instead of doing it for real. What ever they can fit into their 10 minute window as directed my the heathcare providers.... Bulk.

Glad to hear that the solution to your shoulder problems are hopefully on the road to recovery.

Preacher is back! :eek:

Congrats and good luck MGK. I'm positive everything'll work out for you.

I know it's frightening, Templar, but yes I'm here. I've always been here....just took a month long sabbatical in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with 8,000 of my closest "Naval" friends. I'm just happy to come back and find that MachineGunKelly will be his fully automatic and 100% rabble-rousing self after some medical help.

At least you're getting surgery man, I hurt my back 2 years ago last month and I finally got it all sorted out in July and after signing a paper saying that (basically) if I need surgery in the course of time, I'm the one that will pay for it but I got 13grand out of the deal (and promptly spent it too)
