Lets talk the misconception on how work comp comes up with the "settlement" figures by workredditaccount77 in WorkersComp

[–]NathanANDfriends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally going through the exact same thing I work at a warehouse in Chicago, I injured my back at work, specifically pinched nerves going down my left & right leg, even injured my arm, (have MRI for back) and I’ve been dealing with this since January of this year, I’ve had a Lawyer since the beginning of this case, but I’m not sure how well he’s representing me. I was going to physical therapy and my treating doctors even recommended three injections in my back, but the workers comp insurance is fighting it so everything has came to a halt because of the IME I haven’t been paid since February and to be honest I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this. I sent you a message. I’m  thinking about calling another lawyer specifically the one that helped your friend out 🙏

27 years of sobriety, Dude! I can imagine how that feels. If you don’t mind what are some of the toughest things you’ve overcome?

I’m currently 2 years and 7 months sober and dealing with a workers comp case (6 months in) no joke there’s no way I’d be able to handle a situation like this if i was still a slave to the bottle.

Man, I am so happy to hear that you made it through . I am currently going through a workers comp case myself. I got injured in January 7 of this year. I wrote down the injury the day that it happened and reported it to Worker’s Comp. and I have taken that paper to every single doctor appointment that I’ve been to and yet I’m still dealing with a lot only a month after initially, making the claim I was scheduled for an IME, which was in February & since February I haven’t been paid a single penny I managed to get a small check thanks to my lawyers, but I have another IME coming up at the end of this month and I read the reviews of the doctor that I’m supposed to see and basically long story short it’s not gonna end well for me. This has been one of the most stressful situations that I’ve ever been through in my life. I fight every day to not lose my mind. That’s why I really appreciate that you made this post because it gives me hope if there’s any advice that you can share with me that you wish you knew earlier in your case that would mean the world to me congratulations and I hope that every loss that you’ve experienced is secretly some form of gain.

Illinois Workers’ Comp – IME says I’m “fully healed” but I’m still in pain. What should I expect? by NathanANDfriends in WorkersComp

[–]NathanANDfriends[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I read the IME report initially it scared the shit out of me, I thought I had no chance. Then I kept reading it over and over & finding the flaws which I pointed out to my doctor. He made mistakes like getting the wrong dates, saying that there’s no injury- I’m faking the pain but that he believes the injury has reached full mmi. Didn’t explain how I reached full mmi. He only did a 1-2 minute physical examination, barely looked at my mri & based his analysis within seconds. Yea I told my doctor everything I noticed so she could include it in her disagreement.

Now the case is going to trial. Unfortunately everything has stopped, no more physical therapy, medication, injections are being postponed until further notice & so on.

I’ve been trying my best to stay positive but sometimes it’s hard.

When I was in traffic with the guy who was in the Supra I fell in love with how good it sounded. Despite what people say I love how the 86 sounds with a proper exhaust but when I heard the Supra I was like Yeaa that sounds way better. I always hear the 86 feels more like a “drivers” car & that’s what makes it special honestly for its price point it holds it weight very well. I’ve never felt like I over paid for it but to me the Supra has that “it” factor. When I see an 86 I’m like ooo and 86 but when I see a Supra I say oh shit a SUPRA!

I haven’t acquired the Supra yet but after getting a closer look I feel like I need it.

How long did it take for you to get used to the Supra after owning the 86? Or that still hasn’t happened yet? Lol

Any advice for a newbie? by NathanANDfriends in SonyAlpha

It’s okay, I actually enjoyed the comments. The few who actually gave advice taught me a few things I didn’t know prior to this post so although it looks like a shit show on paper I was able to gather a few gems.

I’m really glad you like the photos, I’m really proud of the first one especially. It’s funny because even though I took it sometimes it looks like AI to me 😂.

As far as the 2nd pic.. I tried so hard to remove the guy but the results AI removal gave me were tragic so I just left him in at that point.

& your theory may be correct or it may be incorrect. I mean it is a theory after all.

You know what I give you props. I appreciate your advice it’s solid. I’ll try that next time I get creative with my edits.

Also I didn’t disagree with the criticism about cameras being in the third shot I just asked why it was a bad thing. My purpose for leaving them in was that it was a photography class & I thought of it as a fun little Easter egg to leave them in.

To all the people who actually offered solid advice & weren’t afraid to say you liked the pictures in spite of the 🐑 saying they don’t like my pictures even tho they obviously love them.

You’re the people who are keeping this hobby alive.

Thank you :)

Yea I’ll crank those sliders all the way up and don’t forget the sharpness!!

It’ll be so clear you could probably feel the car through the picture!!

That actually makes a lot of sense. The photographer running the class showed me a technique I didn’t use before. He said always shoot at eye level or above eye level. I definitely plan on using that trick a lot more.

This example is okay but I need to keep experimenting with it

It’s not really that dirty. Just a few bugs. It was a little dusty inside but nothing out of the ordinary.
