What's this magical medical testing tool of which I speak, you wonder? <br /><br />As it happens, the entrepreneurial physician/executive formerly associated with the Johns Hopkins Hospital team of specialists involved in the development of the easily administered online Pain Validity Test, now lives in Palm Springs. While HIPAA doesn't apply to workers comp, maintaining the integrity of one's Personal Health Information IS an important security measure provided for anyone who needs the vital information the Pain Validity Test results can provide. Now that the NFL has a Concussion Protocol in place for every Professional athlete whose bell is rung while on the the field of play, that's a protection negotiated by the NFL Players Association for current, active members. What about the walking (or barely walking) wounded of years gone by? Having grown up watching Da Bears(!), I recall the career-ending injury of one of the game's greatest running backs, Gale Sayers in the 1960's and his teammate who played through his pain with cortisone injections which ultimately destroyed the ligaments and musculature of his hips and knees, Mike (Da Coach) Ditka. These are two marquee names known who represent the hundreds of thousands of athletes - the vast majority who never made it to their respective Big Shows because their injuries took place while playing in the NCAA, semi-professional, high school. <br /><br />To find out what this test is all about and how it can help bring clarity to anyone dealing with a Chronic Pain Claimant from a Post-Physical Traumatic Injury, check out the website: www.InternetMedicalExaminations.com Having a test which validates the Chronic Pain and also provides a Diagnostic Paradigm and Treatment Algorithms which correlate on average 94% of the time to results as if the patient were seen by specialists at Johns Hopkins Hospitals, ought to level the playing field when considering whether or not a proper medical diagnosis was made; if medically necessary and appropriate medical tests and/or procedures were ordered and performed and what other options could have delivered better outcomes. It's too late to prevent those injuries from occurring but improving the quality of life for the affected individual and their families is still a possibility. Isn't that enough of a reason to keep the flicker of hope lit? LeClairVoyanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923566223128185484noreply@blogger.com
