Torn Knee Ligaments At Work

Two weeks ago at my place of employment I fell on a slippery floor and took out another co-worker who then fell on my knee, which resulted in torn ligaments and joint effusion.

All documented by an MRI which I was only able to get after repeated calls to the WC clinic.

As of yet I still have not seen a WC approved orthopedic specialist so that I can be examined and released to return to work. Dwindling funds is causing major friction between my wife and I.

The constant ache and shooting pain is a daily reminder of the bullshit I am going through.

Albeit its only been two weeks but I have a feeling that it is going to be alot longer.

There is no way that these unforeseen agents who control the strings can possibly know what major discomfort that I am in. Which is exactly my point. No one has even bothered to ask.

My fear is that left untreated for too long it may result in permanent damage.
