I’ve already had the wcb ombudsman involved HA!

I’ve had an experience last year with the Fraser Valley Phsyio / Rehab center ltd. in Chilliwack, I had numerous complaints of pain in my right ankle after my 3rd surg. to remove scar tissue as well as bone fragments, well the doctor left 1 behind, a 7mm x 4mm located in the deltoid ligament “that couldn’t be appreciated” (well get a dr. that can), anyways they cut me off due to this therapists statement (who is not a doctor.) after having a meeting with the owner and therapist (Dec.13/02) she said “how can I do a proper evaluation when I only saw you 7 times”, after paying for my own MRI there seemed to be more problems (doctor would not authorize mri) lucky for me decision letter was dated Oct.28/02 one day before they wiped out the Med Reveiw panel. I finally got my hearing Aug.6/03 where they appoint another doctor to see me before a med certificate would be issued, he appt. another doctor to do a nerve blk. specifing this doctor only. well False Creek Surg. set me up w/ a dr.chow who was the wrong dr. then performed the wrong procedure (2 times in emerg.), now i’m waiting to get the procedure done again! not only am I in more pain but on hardship welfare all this time!!! w/ no med cert. yet. I’ve talked to Joe Pinto but it seems they do not want to take responsibility! any suggestions???
thanks for the therapy!
