I have been turned away for any treatment concerning my lengthy and severely debilitating injury from all involved with my care by the facility, as a whole, where my injury was obtained. I have been refused care because I am now a liability to them even though the majority of my remaining issues were because of an injury obtained during medical treatment that I obtained from this other establishment. I have been given all available resources, tests, and procedures that I needed in order to move forward from this injury.
