So I started working at dominos in simi valley, California (near Los Angeles) shortly after my mother died on my birthday in January. On the 4th of March, I got injured on the job making a delivery. The emergency room put me in a horrible makeshift cast (I say makeshift because what they put me in was not medical grade) that caused issues later. I figured out after two mri scans that I had fractured my talus bone and partially tore a ligament, stressed 3 other ligaments. For the first 3 months the pain was terrible, couldn't sleep very much, couldn't walk at all or stand in the shower. I started going to this workers comp issues doctor and physical therapy. I have mental health issues as well as adhd so I'm prone to forgetting important things. One day, I got a call from the facility and the receptionist had this demeaning, nasty attitude because I forgot an appointment. First of all, no I didn't, you never sent me the confirmation text to my cell, my email or even a phone call. So I decide to go to a closer location for physical therapy. Fast forward to about early July, things are going OK up til this point. So to try and help give a general timeline, it's currently the 26th of July. 6 weeks ago, this doctor pointed out that I've been out of work for a while and said I needed more Intense physical therapy, however, I was asked to wait so it can be approved. 2 weeks later, the same doctor said that intense pt is no longer necessary. I've been voicing my concerns about my back pain that's been present for the past 4 weeks from this visit. He said “you should probably go see someone about that.” Got me really upset but I let it go. Keep in mind, I've been asking this asshole for months questions like “how long do you think I'll be out for?” “How long do you think it will take for me to fully heal?” And “when will I be able to do things like running, standing for long periods of Tim's, going up stairs, inclines, declines, etc?” And he never answers them, he either shrugs off the questions or pretends I never asked them. This last visit yesterday, he said that I should go back to work. “The best kind of therapy is going back to work and continuing like normal.” I looked it up, this sack of shit is partially saying this to save the insurance money. Companies usually want to pay the least amount to injured workers and get em back to work sooner than they should. So on that note, fuck you doctor. Secondly, I don't think he fully understands what I do for my job as a dominos delivery driver (which btw, people keep leaving so idk who my store manager is anymore and the supervisor just won't give them my wages because workers comp keeps owing me money). One thing I'm ashamed to admit is I didn't get any of this in writing, I've inadvertently made this situation harder on myself. The physical therapist I saw at this new location a few months ago said maybe November if not early December. That's the only answer I've gotten. I've written an email to my workers comp case manager saying hey this is what's going on, I want a second opinion. I've also scheduled an appointment with my own primary care doctor to see what she thinks. I hate this doctor with every fiber of my being. I'm scared I'm going to lose benefits from workers comp and won't be able to stay here any longer (my father has been an absolute hero and paying my rent in the apartment for months now, he's a teacher and has a good amount of money so i know I'm not hurting him, he also has zero issue with me and my romantic partner coming back home if necessary, the only thing that's holding us back is her disability process, if we move it starts over, not to mention redoing her medical stuff again). What else can I do except collect every document thus far and making phone calls/setting up appointments? Also I just wanna say again, fuck you doctor
