[QUOTE="Jabbawock, post: 1635841, member: 22850"] I know that if you predesignate an injury doctor before the injury occured, you can go to that doctor for all injuries. I don't know all the details, but you should definitely check with your local union for updated information. Ups management likes to mess with your head whenever an injury occurs to one of their workers, whatever it may be, they will always make it your fault, especially if you do go to the UPS company doctor. The supervisors and managers wants to minimize the cost of an injury as much as possible even if it makes them the enemy. Its part of their job I. It's up to you whether you want to be properly treated or not. UPS doctors will always try the least expensive way to treat an injury. They will resort to pain meds, then physical therapy, then acupuncture, then an epidural injection. They will always deny you surgery at all costs. If you ask an independent doctor, they will tell you the TRUTH, the pain meds/therapy/acupuncture/epidural, ALL THEY DO IS MASKED THE PAIN AWAY. They do not get rid of the injury at all. If the masking treatment works for now, the problem will surely comeback at a later time. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. [/QUOTE]
