Ouch, Snap! And double-ouch if this means they've taken you off worker's comp. But hey, if this is something you've had since infancy, then how can they be so sure it wasn't work that made it start giving you symptoms? Or maybe the symptoms aren't from the old fracture at all? I mean ... work is supposed to be safe for everybody, because there's barely anybody who hasn't suffered a whack here or a crack there as a kid. So if you have to be superhealthy at the outset to get workers' comp, then what good is it to most of us ordinary folks? Anyway, whatever they find, I've got some fingers crossed that they also have a cure for it and that your insurance has you covered.
