Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Hence my hesitation but I know my boundaries and what I have to lose. I prefer to not take anything other than ibuprofen. I'm thinking that I will just tear up any prescriptions I'm given and stop going once the case is over.

Best of Luck. I've had 6 surgeries and Tylenol or Ibuprofen is the strongest meds I've taken. I refused all Hydro's & Oxy's but that is just me.
There is mini series on Hulu called Dopesick, I highly recommend watching.

I’m a civil defense attorney and defending personal injury claims has been part of my day to day for most of the last decade.

I skimmed your posts. My .02 for whatever it’s worth - do treatment because you think it will improve your condition, not for your case. More often than you’d think, I see cases where people have treated on liens or through medical funding companies which are trying to get paid out of the settlement or judgment from the claim/lawsuit. Because of attorney advertising, these people thought they would get hundreds of thousands of dollars only for it to turn out that their case is not very good and now they’re stuck with tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Given the very basic facts I read, you have a very tough case. Even with comparative fault, a jury is likely, in my experience, to tag the majority of fault onto you. So even if you were awarded $100k, but found 85 percent at fault, your recovery would be $15k. Two thirds or more of that will go to your lawyers and expenses. The remainder likely would go to your doctors if there are any unpaid bills.

Sorry to hear what you’re going through. It truly sucks. Just figured I’d share what I’ve seen on regular basis throughout my career.

Lawyer caveat I feel compelled to add - this is not legal advice.

Would imagine at UCLA he would've at least had some face time with Duce Robinson.

Would be awesome. But whoever he hire’s really needs to be a good to great recruiter

Don't live in Atlanta. Their drivers test is significantly worse than FL and it shows.

I drive in atlanta daily… i swear they get their DL from a cereal box.

I've never struggled with opiate addiction, but have shown in the past to have an addictive personality--i.e. old nicotine habit that I'd still take back up in a second if I tried a cigarette today.

I had a major injury some time ago. It was horrendous. Required multiple surgeries, hardware installed. Besides the surgeries, it caused major alignment issues in pelvis, back, hips... I had three months of major painful recovery and have lived with chronic pain since.

One week into the recovery, while the pain was immense, I came off of the opitaes. Not because I was addicted, but because I minister to so many people who got addicted through prescriptions, and it installed a monkey on their backs. I didn't want to take a chance of picking up an addiction.

What recovery I've had was on over the counter stuff. What maintenance I do is through diet, exercise, chiropractor, and over the counter stuff.

This isn't the choice everyone needs to make. I just felt compelled to share so no one would think I was talking out of any proverbial orifice.

Folks would need to make hard choices, preferrably with their loved ones, as the choice could affect them as well.

Used to think Orlando I4 was worst traffic in US, enter Atlanta.

Granted ive not driven in LA.

You just named the 3 worse places I've ever driven. I will probably never drive around LA again unbelievable.

Got into some stunning wild rainbows up in Virginia yesterday. Cold weather had em hungry.

I agree with that.

Wow nice. That had to be so much fun !!!

Jones looking bad tonight

Matt?

Dude. His name is Jave! Do you even bother to read ANYTHING?

 

[Big Sun]

Well, the Swiss Guard protects the Pope, so there might be a special tour for Catholics the rest of us don't know about. Not to mention, Doc is pretty old. No telling how many popes he's known personally and what kind of special treatment that gets him.

Underground tunnel from Switzerland to Vatican??

The thing about Orlando is the crazies are out of state license plates probably due to not knowing where to go.

ATL crazies are ATL people.

They nearly do. The standards are so low in Atlanta, using the guise of "racial equity", that unqualified drivers (regardless of race) are on the road. This has caused the insurance market in ATL to sky rocket, understandably, and now there are tons of uninsured bad drivers on the road as well. It's a clusterf**k

damn.

Even one of those is a fish of a lifetime. cool story, biggest smallie ever caught (also biggest freshwater fish), was below Long's Island, at confluence of N and S. Bangin' rocks with a homemade woolheaded sculpin. Three knuckles.

Conservatively, 4-4.5 lb., 20" or more.

To catch three in one day. Damsun, i'm still jelly.

I dont know about racial equity, lol. But, I think what happens in a large city is you have jobs. Folks gravitate there from all over the World. By and large most of em follow the rules, some of them dont. There is also a higher incidence of fraud.

So, uninsured motorist & fraud claims cause skyrocketing insurance costs. Atl's arteries dont help at all. The layout is as bad as Laguardia to Queens to CT turnpike. Also, Russians. They're everywhere.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Take me and @Weezer on a little trip....I bet I can find a way to sneak in.

The actually use those halberds for the body cavity search…@Weezer is probably up for that…

It comes from many different people including natives, several Fulton county council folks, etc. It seemed to be a consensus on why the test was made significantly easier. I'll take their word for it since they were a mixed bag of political affiliation, race, gender, even a couple of LGBTQ folks. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I agree that the intersections of highway complicate the flow.

Man, not everything is political. If it is its dumb.

Atlanta is a melting pot. Easing standards for Motor Vehicles is silly to accomodate anyone.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Yea he never came out again.

Check out the Mount Gambier cave diving incident. Nope, nope, nope……

When my kids were little, we went on a snorkeling trip through a senote in Mexico. At one point, we were in a chute halfway filled with water and I couldn’t lift me head up because it was so narrow.

That was about 15 1/2 years ago and I still think about how stupid it was. I will never do anything like that again. If it had gotten any narrower I would have been stuck or had to try to back out (wouldn’t be able to do that)

Sitting here typing this still makes me shiver thinking about that. The Lord truly takes care of little kids and idiots. This idiot learned a very valuable lesson that day. Wide open spaces is where I belong!

I didn't blame a political party. I blamed the folks that made the standard. That's what they did though.

We agree on your last point.
