Science

I was the tort reform statistician with the Department of Insurance so in that area I'm knowledgeable. I also doubt that I could get a doctor to agree that the abscess was related to the denial for a prostheses and since I have no actual economic loss I would be relying on the sympathy of a jury for an award. In this red county, jurors are more likely to think that they are already paying for Medicaid and disability--why do they need more money?

In the meantime, I don't want to have lawyers and doctors probing into my medical records or personal life since I doubt that a case would hold up since the state would apply the sovereign immunity argument. I also don't want to deal with Indigent Care again since I had to contact them last year about a two-year-old bill related the amputation that they dropped the ball and failed to pay--at least they finally paid after hassling with them for three months. Finally, I don't want to get my hopes up again only to get them dashed--I've been on that roller coaster too many times.
