Probably shouldn't be making threats but Mercy has devolved into a crap show. This is why you get a Workers Comp attorney and let them deal with it. The decision if its a work related illness or injury really isn't up to a single provider. They can offer their opinion but let the workers comp folks make the decision and then appeal as needed. I mean, how poorly do you have to do in Med School to be stuck doing occupational health as a specialty? I wouldn't trust their opinion.
This is a low IQ justification on your end, “probably” shouldn’t be? No, you shouldn’t be at all despite what you think. And also, tell me you know nothing about how workman’s comp works without telling me^^^^
5:58 the physicians who work in the urgent care facilities, whether it is Freeman or Mercy, still have to pass all medical exams to obtain their licenses. Degrading a physician for working in the establishment’s is incorrect. A lot of physicians help fill these positions while working their full time jobs, there are other physicians who rotate filling these positions, while also rotating at the local emergency rooms. Lumping all physicians who work at these facilities as less than, is a form of bullying by people like yourself. Be grateful that if you ever need their medical assistance, they are there to help you.
