They didn't even do the MRI.
Thumbs down to the Division of Workers' Compensation. They didn't even give him a chance. "The decision by Dr. Richard Fessler of Northwestern University came late Monday after a tumultuous day in which Martinez was to be transferred from Highland Hospital in Oakland to UCSF for a high-resolution MRI exam. The transfer was canceled when the state Division of Workers' Compensation refused to authorize it." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SPFC1FHHGJ.DTL

My 18 year old kid tore his ACL in very late July in a freak workplace accident while working with our city in a summer program for kids. Workers comp in California got involved because of where he worked, despite our insurance that would have covered everything. My only call to exert pressure was to his employer just to let them know we needed to get him operated on and functional to get him to college (in the SEC!) by August 15th. He had the full MRI maybe within 72 to 96 hours of the injury. The surgery on August 3rd. California Workers Comp held nothing up or attempted to thwart in our case and we did little if anything in attempts to expedite.

Seriously, my life experience after 10 years of living in the Bay Area is that most news stories involving Highland Hospital usually include, "transported to Highland Hospital where he later died." I'm sure they have fine and very qualified and admirable people that work there. It's got to be a bitch of a place to be though..
