I got hurt kinda badly on the job a few weeks back and so far the process has been agonizing between a RN that didn’t believe I was in pain, an employer that seems to be laying groundwork for firing me a and a worker’s comp insurance company that is more than a little loose with the timing of their payments. The whole thing has me pretty anxious, unable to do most things I enjoy and in a whole boatload of pain.
Anyone had an experience with an on-the-job injury? How’d it go? Any tales of full healing and victory over disability to brighten my outlook?
One of my first jobs in high school, cashier, undiagnosed adhd. Found a pocket knife near the register and left alone as the only cashier in the section of the store near closing so nobody around. Playing with knife, cutting up a pen casing I found, no real goal. Blade slips and slice thumb very badly through the nail but missed a bone. Customer walks up immediately after I saw the blood dripping and had to go to urgent care for 12 stitches and a couple booster shots. Thankfully LNI handled it. Was let go a few weeks later as “end of seasonal help”.
