It seems those wonderful people at Sedgwick CMS and AT&T have won. They have lied and denied me into the poor house. They are starving me out. They are actually disregarding current medical documentation that states my current condition as being unable to return to work. I mean after I had this damn surgery they told me average 4 to 6 months before any improvement is evident and it can take a year to a life time to be comfortable and healed again. So... I was aware of the bumpy, painful, and frustrating road to recovery that lie ahead for me. I just didn't think that the worst part would be to get the benefits I am entitled to under my employment contract.
I honestly would be farther along in my healing process if it weren't for the exorbitant stresses put on me by my employer and it's hired thugs. Which is so ironic. I mean if they would have been honest people, and just went by the documentation provided by the professionals attending to my injury, and provided me with my disability. I would probably be back to work by now. But because even as hard as we try to not let the stress into our consciousness, our bodies react to it. It's an instinct, it's called fight or flight. We have no control of this and when you have the kind of injury I have, the last thing you need is to have your body be a clenched fist. No healing of any kind is able to happen.
So... as I was saying. It looks like I am going to have to return to work AMA(Against Medical Advice), which not only makes me a liability to my company, but puts me at risk of worsening my condition to the point of it becoming irreversible. Nice huh? For a sales job. Because, it was made perfectly clear to me not long before my accident, that the promises made in training and by management, that I was going to be educated and groomed for another position more suitable to my professional resume was just another lie they told me. Because, not only couldn't I get a release to even apply for new positions, but there has been no classes provided to put me in a forward direction. So, essentially boys and girls, I am going to have to risk permanent problems, problems that I would not have had to worry about with a full treatment regiment and the blessing of my medical professionals, for a lousy sales job that is so beneath my credentials... it's embarrassing to tell people who know me what I do for a living.
Thank you Sedgwick CMS and thank you AT&T for caring so much about me.
