My injury actually happened in the line of duty (chasing an escaping psych patient) and my employers insurance company is trying to limit their liability. A neurosurgeon ordered steroid epidural injections but the insurance company won't allow it so off to court we go. In the meantime, I think they're hoping hoping I just off myself. But thanks to alcohol, that ain't gonna happen so I will see them in court and they're gonna own this.

"My injury actually happened in the line of duty (chasing an escaping psych patient) and my employers insurance company is trying to limit their liability."

I can relate to that situation. Before I became a Correctional Officer for NY State in 1980, I worked as a Safety Officer at a NY State psych center for about six months. We were regularly called to the units when the staff couldn't restrain a patient who was acting-out. We'd also have to respond to the area hospital to transport drunks who were medically admitted to the alcohol unit overnight. That was always fun. I took the job with Corrections because I figured if I was going to have to restrain people, with the possibility of getting hurt, I might as well take the higher-paying job.
