I was an employee for 18 years and had to take disability because of a rare medical condition (spasmodic Dystonia, Dsyphonia) which has left me unable to speak, drive, travel alone, or be in public places because of the problems with breathing spasms from smells. I have residual carpool tunnel syndrome. I went to so many doctor and documentation and was denied because they thought I should be able to work at home. If you cannot communicate how do you call for a job. My shopping, talking and life is by computer but limited because hand problems and minute cost. They denied and told me to just sue them as all I would get is what is owed. A lawyer told me that he would cost me more than I would get back. I am not the first that Banner has done this ot and I will not be the last. The money from them would help me to cover cost of seeing the doctors needed. AS I am not able to afford to see the doctor much when I get hurt or need one for other health problems, I cannot go due to co-payment cost or eating. I recently fell (as I do from the spasms) and hurt my knee but am unable to afford the cost gas and copayment to see doctor.
