secondary gain issues can stop any healing

[Guest guest]

Dr. i am payee to a very similar situation.

 

the guy is a 'wiz'.  

 

when he wants attention, he gets sick.

 

last wk i called his bluff, again. took him to a dr, the dr told him to chew on

a rubber band. after that he said he really wasn't sic.

 

all he wants is free money. called his employer & told them to give this guy lot

more hrs .

I am curious about how a 'secondary gain' of an insurance claim can be a valid

issue for healing?

 

In fact, " NOT healing " is more in line with getting the goodies, ie, the monies,

the disability and the help from others to 'do for them' instead of doing for

self.

 

I've one ex-client that did NOT heal until she had been given permanent

disability from the state.

 

Then, PRESTO-WHAMO, she was healed. At least she was healed enough to take that

monthly money and have much fun spending it, and most of her physical/mental

issues were gone.

 

Of course I am sure that when she gets re-evaluated by the state's Psychiatrist

she will have a relaspe and still be 'not able to take care of herself'.
