What safety equipment, if any, was installed at location of injury?
Answer: Handrail.

Was employee using safety equipment, if any, at time of injury?

List specific parts of employee's body that were injured in this incident.
Answer: 1.) Arm (left, m----r-f--king); 2.) Pride

Was treatment necessary? If so, describe.
Answer: Employee was taken by police to employer's workmen's compensation doctor. Doctor left employee in treatment room for 20-30 minutes before coming in and yelling at him, quote: "What are you doing here? You shouldn't even be here." Doctor then informed employee that employee would need to find private transportation to emergency room. Doctor then left.

Who administered treatment?
Answer: Employee. Before passing out from pain, employee jammed employee's dislocated shoulder into door frame and twisted elbow with right hand, reducing the dislocation. Employee was then upgraded from "pained" to "p-ssed off" and taken by private auto to emergency room.

Answer: Employee waited for two hours at first emergency room, which looked like the "Star Wars" cantina.

This type of incident would never have happened if “you people” hadn’t voted for Obama.

I agree with Shecky, but I also blame the left wing media. Hope you feel better.

Couldn’t stop laughing, reading this! Glad you can keep a smile on things while recovering. Feel better, and thanks for the smile!

This is the typical lawyer – government induced crap that that I have dealt with for years in the health care arena. Your situation Jason warrented the use of more 4 letter “sentence enhancers” (as in Sponge Bob’s dumpster episode). The total lack of commen sense and I dare say “uncaring” is quite evident by the whole reeking system. But Jason really …. don’t feel bad just take comfort that your shoulder, either directly or indirectly, paid for that beautiful UPMC sign that graces our skyline. My prayers will be with you when one of my associates starts to whirlygig your shoulder. Be safe, God Bless …. Tom from Belle Vernon
