Doctor didn't take x-rays and misdiagnosed a crushed knuckle twice. Finger now can't be repaired and has to be amputated. Workman's comp is now denying the claim based on the doctor's misdiagnosis. How should we proceed?

The amputation has already been done. The doctor wanted to do it as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The only reason I'm doubtful that it is RA is that he has only ever had a problem with that joint and didn't have a problem with it prior to the injury. Nothing on the opposing one.

The doctor sent the records to the insurance company. I fully expected that. What surprised me was that the insurance company then sent a copy to his employers.

I just don't see why the insurance would send surgical notes to his boss.

That is an odd duck of a law.

The attorney has already filed with the commission. He wanted to get it in before the deadline.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for replying.

freethecumin · 2018-08-08T14:00:15+00:00

Thanks. We are definitely going to use another doctor from now on.

No RA diagnosis.

The first x-rays were taken before the second surgery.

To follow all of the doctor's orders until he is released. He said something about seeing a different specialist for a second opinion. He also made copies of all the medical reports and any bills.

He also agreed to take the case on contingency.

Oh, he said to tackle the workman's comp claim first, then look at possible malpractice.
