Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 Jeff, Get that person's name and keep it in a safe place. If more lawsuits are to follow this could be a " presidency " (not sure if that is the correct legal term) for future claims. The Gulf War Veterans has spent years trying to find history of claims that were paid but the government usually will put a gag order on anyone who gets a settlement. If they pay one claim they have to pay you all! Don't forget about the Feres Doctrine, that will not let a military person sue the government until their claim has been refused. That is why most GW Veterans claims sat around for 5 years before anyone got anything, care, treatment or money. That is why so many died. By the way $200,000 isn't much money when your sick today, also find out if that person can ever get treatment at a VA hospital in the future. I'm sure more on this list can explain this better than I can! Take care all, Maureen At 10:36 AM 1/2/01 -0800, you wrote: >Hello everyone... > >I met this guy last week - he is in the Army.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hi Stacey, I have an example for you. " I am fully aware of how your appeals process works, through the final appeal and including, if made necessary, my right to invoke legal action. " (Or something very similar.) I hope this helps, or at least gives food for thought. Be sure you are well versed in their appeals process in case they " call " you on it. My best!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hello Stacey, I am also getting the runaround from my insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico). I will be talking to them on Tuesday, April 29th. In my case, they approved the surgery but not MGB that they claim to be experimental. We are going to say that other companies pay for the procedure and do not consider it experimental. We are also going to present the story of the Billroth II surgery and some comparisons with other methods, including the study by the Chinese doctors that Dr. Rutledge sent to us last week. However, I believe that we, MGB'ers should have a site where we present all the cases won and lost. That could be a big help to the people that will have the surgery. May be we could convince Dr. Rutledge to have this added to the manual. If he does not aggree, we could make a web page ourselves. I do not know if threatening them with an attorney will or not change anything. I would talk to a good attorney before doing anything. They would know how better advise you. I apologize for my poor English. I am a naturalized American, and English is my second language. I am a physicist and I have experience with computers. If we decide to create a web page on how to fight insurance companies, I could offer some help. lawsuit >hello, > >well, i'm still getting the runaround from my insurance company. is there anyway to make a tactful, non-threatening statement to them (via mail) letting them know that my next step will be to get a " big gun " attorney involved? i have said nothing of the sort yet, but that is in the plan if need be. > >stacey raimundo >10/23/02 >232/156 > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 We need to know the correct procedure and/or the current expectations that should take place when a medical guidelines needs to be reviewed. Especially when a particular guideline has attracted hundreds of comments against it. Could somebody please do a search to find out what the current expectations are concerning such a review in the UK. When the Attorney General of Connecticut(1) ordered a review of guidelines written by the Infectious Disease Society of America - there was an agreement that… 1. no past guideline author may participate. 2. All, not selected, medical science must be considered. 3. The committee meetings must be open to the public. 4. The committee must have an ombudsman that is mutually chosen. Can we expect this to happen here in the UK? Can we MAKE this happen here in the UK? If the hypothyroidism guideline is being reviewed by the same people who created it, we need to take action against this. But, we will wait and see… (1) IDSA Agreement with the Connecticut Attorney General http://www.lyme.org/updates.html Luv - Sheila A recent exchange here prompted me to connect the reason why doctors believe wrongly that thyroxine is the active hormone is their lack of education. The Royal College of Physicians' recommended curriculum for endocrinologists does not touch on the mimics of hypothyroidism, those post thyroid functions of peripheral metabolism and peripheral cellular hormone reception, or on the requirements for various enzymes. When we connect this to the Royal College of Physicians evaluating all of the complaints on their recent hypothyroidism guideline, we can only wonder about the level of education these evaluees are going to bring to the discussion. To date, there has been uniform denial or dismissal of these mimics. The RCP may continue to deny their existence or the RCP may stall indefinitely. Either will demand a lawsuit or the acceptance of continued suffering. We have several problems with legal action. The first is expense. How are just a few people going to manage the huge costs. Well, unless they are rich and altruistic, it is not likely. This requires a broad based support. However, I know of no other forum that is inclined to even suggest a litigious path. Perhaps they would rather suffer than rock the boat in the high seas within courtrooms. We need to gain solidarity with and support of other forum members or at least persuade those members to also become donating members of TPA-UK. The second problem in these cases is finding experts in the light of sham peer reviews and potential loss of career, which we have already seen all too often already.... On the flip side, I believe that a well-prepared barrister can leave opposing experts either admitting ignorance or incoherently blubbering. . .. . Anyway, I just hope that this can be resolved before I kick the bucket. I fully expect that the race will be on. Which also suggest that the side with the endurance will be the winner. So every day that you suffer, think of supporting this effort. Every day that you can be thankful for Sheila's efforts, think of supporting this effort.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 HI The answer to this is quite simple. There is a system of checks and balances upon magistrates. There is no system of checks and balances on medical associations -- except for a big, risky law suit. And if you had Ann Keen as judge, you might as well go home and suffer. MMMMM, I wonder how many suicides can be attributed to medical practice induced depression. I ask that because there are more suicides in the US than murders.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 , you are right on all points. but i am trying to find some attorney who does not charge me before hand. Secondly i have collected blood reports of blood transferred to me during surgery. it shows that they had not tested for Hepc before giving me. i like to have every body's guidance on this issue. swammyWell if you have the proof that they did not check for hep c and "WERE SUPPOSE TO" looks like you have a case and my guess is you need to seek a malpractice attorney. Just keep looking for someone and I'm sure some lawyer will think the case is solid. Only problem is they can say you could have gotten it many other ways but it cost alot of money to fight and doesn't look good for the hospital in the newspapers so there maybe a quick settlement.
