Diana Johns, M.D. -US Healthworks Doctor Diana Johns, M.D. releases injured worker back to work while he still injured, Must Read Stockton California
Report Attachments
I am a truck driver that was injured while delivering cargo using a lift gate and a pallet jack on 03/25/2014. My injuries consisted of Head injury, left shoulder injury, right hand injury and crushed foot injury.
I was released back to work (8/11/2014) by US Health Works (by Doctor Diana Johns, M.D. - License # 41091) in Stockton without having my neurological and orthopedic surgeon referral completed. I was released to full duty and I am supposed to have an MRI done on my crushed foot after the fact of being released, shouldn't the MRI be done before I was discharged to full duty, to get a full perspective of my foot, and to be able to know if I can drive an 18 wheeler again.
My head injury was never resolved and my crushed foot injury still so swollen that I haven't been able to wear a shoe since 03/25/2014 (I use house slippers) and can barely walk on it. I walk with a cane, without it i would lose my balance and fall.
With that said my medical and safety concern is that I am suffering from concussion syndrome 4 and half months after my injury. There something wrong with my head, I have lost short term memory. I have to use dry erase boards all over the house to remind me of things I need to do and appointments.
Constant dizziness, debilitating headaches (think of the worst migraine you ever had times 18 hrs a day), constant pain in my right foot, ankle and leg, hand injury resolved, shoulder injury aches often (I am out of pain medication, I know inmates never go 1 day without their pain meds, thinking of committing a crime so I can get proper medical care) and to top it all off I am embarrassed to say that I have become incontinent, I am no Doctor but I would think that might be a neurological issue. It is sad that at almost 49 years old I have to use adult diapers because I don't know when I will have an urinary discharge.
What bothers me is that how can you discharge somebody to full duty without doing a neurological test done by a real specialist that was requested by the workers comp insurance (AIG).
It is noted that if I get behind the wheel of a semi-truck totaling 80,000 pounds or less, how safe is the public when I am dizzy the majority of the time. Would you like to be in front of my truck while I am having a bad dizzy spell. I think not.
My attorney has mentioned that US Health Works has a reputation of sending injured workers back to work while the injury hasn't been resolved.
The reason I got an attorney was that US Health Works only concern was my foot injury, while nothing was being done about the head injury.
I reported to my employer as suggested by my attorney and Dr. Diana Johns, M.D. California License # 41091, by the way in all her paperwork her license number appears as 40191 instead of 41091, don't know if that is a typo, but i think she hides her real license number for her own protection.
My new supervisor saw my injuries and he said that he will contact HR to see what they can do for me.
I sent a complaint to the California Medical Board to stop this quackery and to put this Doctor in check because it is not safe for me to go to work and drive a semi and possible kill somebody in the process.
