Update from.....Izzy
Hopalong:
It's incredible how documentation gets the lead out, and moves things forward.
I am so glad you GOT that report...it has gravitas and legal weight and prevents
laziness.
On the part of doctors.
This sounds like good news, Izz...may it multiply.
love to you,
Hops

Thank you Hops,
It is good to see the truth in legal writing.

from my opening email.
It appears that the elevator is broken in the building in Vancouver, but I was being sent there anyway--what fools! (" She cannot manage 8 steps?")
Long story shorter I now go to New Westminster, BC, no airport, taxi 16 miles from Vancouver, while all the explanations sound as though the Insurance Co is sending a healthy mobile person. Meanwhile these people (me and I) feel on the verge of tears to do this alone, and be manhandled all the way and back. I still cannot manage public washrooms, so require a hotel as a stop over, both ways.
If the Insurance Co. wanted a report at this point in the game, they ought to have paid more attention and booked an appointment for me here, in my home town for 3 years after the accident, and not just now 3½ years later.
I feel like suing the Insurance Co. but I already am!
No one feels the 'fear' within me, but me, when something like this is on deck, but I will co-operate, because all the Defence wants is someone who is not co-operative (and who walks!)
Grrrrrrrrrrr

I can't believe your attorney is allowing this to happen to you. It's like the insurance company is putting you through a gauntlet, and IF you make it, THEN they'll consider paying you SOMETHING, but hey.....
you might not survive the roadblocks they're setting up, so hey....
let's wait and see how it goes.
I'm appalled, always have been at the way you've been treated, but forcing you to cross country, and I'm still not sure WHY they're requiring it, is a new level of unprofessional and cruel, even for them.
You need that appointment in your home town for goodness sake, Izz. Why can't your attorney DO that? AND, if he's unable to, maybe this is where the film crews start their human interest story on our Ms. Izz?
Love to you,
Lighter
Twoapenny:
Hope things get sorted out, Izzy, this all sounds like a real nightmare for you. Hope they pull their fingers out and get everything sorted xx

Hi lighter & Twoapenny,
Thank you both.
I was very deep in thought, at 6:00 a.m., well actually talking out loud to myself, about being co-operative, awaiting my turn, doing what I'm told and don't make waves.
I am also deep into research about personal injury cases.
I read of one last night. A guy in a wheelchair, here in my city, was being sent to Vancouver for an examination. The Supreme Court ruled that the Doctor come here.
I know I am 'on the edge'. I slept Thursday night, yesterday and last night, getting up now and again, but I needed to think, sleep, check the computer, sleep, think, research. and finally wrote my lawyer this morning.
I wrote just now, 7:15 a.m, but it's Saturday, and spoke of some of my 'fears' and suggested the doctor come to me. Same difference with the Insurance Company paying the freight.
I insisted that he follow up on my missing Dental Report: examination done on March 15, this year.
I didn't chew him out, but he had asked me October 7, in a hurried call, to list what I would need for this trip. I sent it to him with other requests, and just on October 31, he called me to ask what I would need for this trip. (He took me by surprise and so I just told him again.) Now I know which email and I mentioned it, and his not reading emails. I trust him, I like him and he just has to not be in a rush about the trial he is in right now, to speak to me on other matters.
When it is me, I want his attention.
---he checks his office mail at home.
