Worker's knee surgery authorized
Just before Christmas, based on a litigation doctor's bought and paid for opinion, a mechanic's workers comp benefits were stopped because the hired gun doctor didn't think he needed arthroscopic surgery. This surgery - designed to diagnose as well as fix a problem - is used to diagnose and surgically repair meniscal tears in the knee and rotator cuff tears in the shoulder.Glad to report, the surgery was authorized and benefits re-started before the hearing. This means the mechanic will get his work related knee injury fixed sooner and hopefully he'll be back to work sooner as well, with less recovery time and restrictions.
