I was injured on the job because my employer chooses to ignore set osha rules about my job. This is where we must go if were hurt on the job ..no other choices here. ..honestly the staff is usually pretty sharp and caring but dbl book every appointment so waiting for a hour plus in exam room isnt unusual even though theyre motto on all thier posters is 45 min visits…I wish. Then theres the doctors. your lucky to get 10 minutes with them once they come in. Just no time to get a proper evaluation. My case for example is i was pulling/ pushing 2400lb pallet of paper when i felt a tearing take place above my belly button ( oh yes osha says limit for a human with a non powered pallet jack is 1500lbs maximum) i came in with a protrusion above my belly button that makes me look pregnant. But according to doctor##:## there isnt a hernia. and he goes on to explain human anatomy to me. ..ok so were supposed to get another visit 5 days later ..got typical over a hour exam room wait when he walks in says hibhow ya doing ? the same. ok have a good day and have the office people make you a appointment for a ultra sound. Not even 2 minutes spent with me , he didnt even check it out again or ask to…. Ive dealt with this same doctor before when a car made a u turn in front of my truck injuring my shoulder..well i got same amount of service and caring or aftercare that time but i wasnt really hurt then but 2 years later i have a finger thatis numb at all times plus my thumb also has loss of feeling now ,, i cant play the drums anymore without retraining myself and my guitar playing just is over and done with because i cant feel the strings under them or how hard. I am pressing a string. I havent seen anything i call care or concern for my well being and just because they are a workers comp provider should not make my health care a joke. Thats why we all pay workers comp everyday we work. ..to ensure our care should we be hurt not whats best for my employer but whats best for me but not at concentra it seems. A little update i went and ssaw the surgeon i used 18 years ago. for a different matter and his words were the doctor said what ?? Its only obvious to anyone you have a huge hernia and hope it doesnt become a problem if it happens to start strangling a major organ. Just his opinion of course …he doesnt get paid by my work or my workers comp co. Thank you concentra for health care that doesnt actually care a bit about my life and well being
