well today marks my 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of being electrocuted and surviving a fatal accident
on the job.
I spent the day combating MOTHER NATURE and the minus 3 degree temps at dawn and all the
fresh snow on the ground and roadways.
Noticed this afternoon when I sat for heat and coffee how the SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT of my
body causes pain.
Dealing with too much ... to be forgotten by the WORK COMP SYSTEM and all the powers that be
like the MARYLAND GOVERNOR ...Whom is well aware of my situation and I see no help
or movement to CLOSE MY CLAIM AND SETTLE MY CASE.
I have begged for over 7 months now for a settlement so I CAN SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION using my Blue Cross
insurance and cannot do so until this matter with the STATE OF MARYLAND is closed.
Since June of last year... waiting for something to happen.
Today I had an email forwarded to me by a SENATOR , from the MARYLAND WORK COMP COMMISSION... Their Secretary clearly states ...
that NO SETTLEMENT PAPERWORK has been filed with the commission on my behalf. Nothing filed since last year.
I am not being told the truth ... my basic human rights violated time and again for 5 YEARS NOW.
Why is it allowed to continue ? The state hiding behind it's own work comp system.
My right to medical care ignored, blocked and denied time and again.
Like last January when my mental health therapist fell ill and had to retire DURING ongoing treatment
and he clearly reported and stated MY THERAPY NEEDED TO CONTINUE ... Has gone ignored
now for over a year. IGNORED
Reported to two different nurse case managers the heart issues and problems and PROMISED HELP
time and again for YEARS and saw none. NOTHING ... told them about the local heart doctor
refusing to treat after passing out multiple times or issues with the heart skipping and stopping
1000's of times daily or a hrate of 150 or 160 sitting in an easy chair relaxed.
The abuse of my rights cannot be hidden behind a broken and corrupt work comp system...where an
employee cannot SUE an employer for their accident. The oldest work comp law in the nation
that outlines MEDICAL TREATMENT and no need to sue ... and what happens.
The injured worker has to hire an attorney to combat the work comp insurer and the state
to secure NEEDED MEDICAL CARE and benefits as an injured worker.
5 YEARS and dozens of letters and emails to GOVERNOR O'MALLEY and other politicians
across the nation ... and to other people
and figure heads. Letters to Hollywood stars and Politicians and even a few letters to the
White House and the President of the United States who has an active interest in
every Americans health care and THEIR RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE.
My injuries are very real. Like the 6 inch SURGICAL scar across my right elbow when the current
burned and damaged the nerves to my right arm. My point of contact. * PICS IN THIS BLOG
The exixt wound in the middle of my back LEFT UNTREATED the day of my accident by
the local hospital. A third degree burn ! Now a nice deep hole you could lay a golf ball on.
This burn , that when a cyst formed and it would not heal and infection was present I had to fight
for surgery to correct. Cysts are very common in burn injuries after they have healed FYI.
This right arm where surgery was DENIED FOR MONTHS when it was clearly told the
insurance co it was needed asap to save the use of my arm. SURGERY DENIED the day before it
was scheduled. Not by writing in a letter with a reason , just a phone call the afternoon before surgery
to have the DOCTORS OFFICE LOOSE A SURGICAL SLOT FOR THAT DAY.
That makes them want to REALLY TREAT the next work comp patient now doesn't it ...
Yesterday morning the arm WENT DEAD for over 45 minutes... no feeling at all or control
from my shoulder down Pain has become worse these last few months and NO MEDICAL
TREATMENT has been allowed. My requests and cries go unheard.
Like my heart... Passed out 6 times during the heart episodes and the local heart doctor
refused to treat. REFUSED and my wife sat and WITNESSED his refusal to treat after
passing out multiple times.
Because he did not want to TREAT a work comp patient whom he had been TRICKED
to see back in 2009 when MD WORK COMP INSURANCE CO IWIF refused me all
medical treatment for a period of 4 months post accident. When the local heart doctor sent
them a report about my NOW DAMAGED HEART FROM THE ELECTROCUTION.
4 MONTHS ... THE REFUSED ME MY BASIC RIGHT TO MEDICAL CARE
FOR AN ON THE JOB INJURY. 3 WITNESSES TO MY ACCIDENT
IWIF the insurance co waltzed into court April 2009 and pleaded NO CONTEST
for their denying my NEEDED medical treatment and all benefits. Had to give NO REASON
for their first attempt to do away with me.
Too many MRI's and EMG nerve tests and xrays and exams CLEARLY support
my injuries I now live with daily. Injuries NEVER treated like the compression fracture
in my thoracic spine or the multiple disc pushed out in my spine by the compression force
of being electrocuted. Squeezes the human body so hard discs get pushed out and long
bones break and fracture. I have a current count of 8 disc out in my neck and spine.
Two or three of which are causing unbearable pain and DYSFUNCTION.
A state owned and run insurance co ... PLEADING NO CONTEST in a court
RUN BY THE STATE OF MARYLAND. See something wrong there ? I do ... bigtime
3 other employees/contractors also received electrical shocks after I took the FULL INITIAL
BLAST. I remember Frankie screaming like a little school girls when he got zapped. He thought
it was funny until it hit him. I still remember the arm going DEAD and the feeling that my insides
were jumping around like fish on the ground. I still have nightmares nightly from it all ... sometimes
multiple nightmares daily.
I was promised a settlement last year , and saw nothing. Keep hearing promises and see nothing.
I do not have to wonder why ... since the first doctor in 2009 told me the INSURANCE COMPANY
WANTS YOU DEAD... it has been repeated multiple times by multiple doctors and professionals
along the way.
The Maryland Governor's office will not reply ...I am not seeing any action
nothing
My wife who is currently fighting her own battle with cancer has to sit by and watch me suffer the
abuse and the VIOLATION OF MY HUMAN RIGHTS.
The state of Maryland HIDES behind the corrupt system in place. Where their insurance company
IWIF and the injury attorneys play in their sandbox and USE the injured workers and nothing more
than GAME PIECES in the game , the mockery of the oldest WORKERS COMPENSATION SYSTEM
IN THE NATION.
You cannot violate any single person's basic human right to medical care or mental health care
or to SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND HELP.
MY HOME STATE OF MARYLAND IS TRYING TO BURY ME ...
and allow these injustices to go on , just PICK A NEW GAME PIECE from the current pile
of injured workers. We the injured workers are disposable and will be replaced to keep
profits high for the players on both sides of the sandbox.
FYI The Industrial blower that electrocuted me , was condemned by the state of Maryland /MOSH.
IT IS STILL BEING USED TODAY along with the other blower capable of a much larger
charge of electricity. I was hit with an excess of 56,000 volts and it hurt then
and hurts more today as I write this.
My heart doctor at Hopkins and my Neurologist and the Doctor treating me for the pain and
anxiety and brain damage to my memory ... ALL TOLD THE POWERS THAT BE
that Autonomic nerve damage has occurred and will eventually cause my death.
Why my heart rate is so erratic and is being chemically controlled daily... why my body functions
decline daily or my inability to control body temp etc. Autonomic Nerve Dysfunction cannot be
fixed. Make the patient comfortable until the wrong thing stops or quits working.
Was told 7 years on the average for survival ... I have now used 5.
Anyone reading this , feel free to contact the MARYLAND GOVERNOR O'MALLEY
or any other person they think can help me.
Just like to die in LESS PAIN and feel I got some help before I lost my battle.
Leave something more for my wife other than bad memories of my abuse.
LET ME CRAW AWAY FROM THE ABUSE ... PLEASE. I am begging.
sincerely
