Depression

[oncedisturbed]

Had my case hearing monday for my back, well and truly being shafted by the other side. Like others, not something we really need coming upto xmas as it is putting huge strain on the mrs and me.

We are making sure as hell munchkin has a good xmas as it isnt fair that he misses out due to the actions of others.

Hardest part is finding out that the "quack" the other side is relying on has had several civil suits against him from 97-08 and not caring about the impact it is having.

No good mate that sucks big ones,
You can also see your local member if you feel you're being shafted,
well shafted more than usual.
You can always ask for another Doctor of their choice if this one is shoddy

not good to hear mate, things are bad enough without the problems associated with fighting your employer, hope things turn for the better.

Mate that really sux, it is so disappointing to hear how these p!/$(s can get away with it. There should be no grey area if you are injured at work, they should be forced to pay x for y injury no questions asked, no courts nothing, just pay or the government should re posses assets to the value of the injury. It's bad enough that you have to deal with the injury. I really hope this works out for you.

Not so much depressed but really dejected atmo. My wife's grandfather past away last night from a nearly 9 yr battle with lukheamia. I really feel for her mum's family at the moment as only a few months ago Tan's mum's brother in law committed suicide. Then around a 3weeks ago the brother had a stroke and nearly died but is now brain damaged and still in a pretty serious condition as he has blood clots in his neck that they can't really operate on as it could kill him and the medication to thin his blood is not really working either and now this with the grandfather. The thing that tops it off is that Tan and her mum had planned to go down and see the grandfather today and pretty much say their goodby's and he didn't make it through the night. I know how I felt when my grandfather past and I was not able to say goodby as he was in Africa and I was hear and had not seen him in over 12 years, I was not able to go over with my parents when they went over to say goodby when went down hill with testicular cancer and he past not long after they left.
So ppl if you have the chance to say goodby do not hesitate make sure you do at any cost.

My condolences to you and your wife mate, yes totally agree, get in while you can no matter what you need to make time as they can go sooner than you think, same thing happened to me with a mate one time, went and seen him and said i would drop in on the way back to the airport and was running late and he died that night

Ok, If I haven't said this before, I'm gonna say it now.... If any of you feel depressed and need to talk... FFS do it! Pick up that phone or go see someone and talk. A true friend will listen, regardless of time or place! If you feel you don't have anyone you can talk to, use one of the government sponsored phone lines. If all else fails, phone me! (Please tell me who you are and why you are calling though...) I am sick of losing friends to suicide! Another friend lost yesterday, way before his time and left a bewildered wife and teenaged boys wondering why....
