You really want to go to a lame hospital?Try Newport hospital.I've been battling them and Aquidneck Radiologists over a worker's comp claim since I fell off that ladder in February!

I just got off the damn phone with some biddy at Aquidneck Radiologists who just told me that Beacon shot me down for the third time on my xray bill.Well I also just off the phone with the Beacon rep who worked my claim and guess what?They've NEVER received a bill ever.

So instead of relying on the dumb-asses at Newport Hospital and Aquidneck Radioligists to do their job I'm going to do it for them.

Now THAT I had to get off my chest!

That's what a Lawyer is for. Good Luck with that.

Yep, They suck... At least it sound like they got u fixed the first time. I broke and dislocated my shoulder scouting a shad fishing spot on Mother's day. The wait was longer than yours, Radiologist misread the Xrays (2 sets) missed the fractured shoulder socket, the Physican's Asst. - going on that report- sent me home with a diagnosis of a strained ligament- wouldn't believe me when I told him it had been out of the socket... Before I could get a referral to ortho spec. it fell out of the socket again, when I was rolled over in bed (alone). That was FUN!!! Trying to do a one handed pushup to get out of bed without tilting the dislocated (locked) arm... I hope you are better and fishing again- I can't even tie flies yet....

It truly does suck. But I think you got off easy. Five years ago broke both my arms on bicycle. Went to the ER at 5:00PM. Did not get home till 2:30AM . Oh, and I worked at the same hospital. At the time.
Funny, you find out who your friends are real quick with two busted arms.
