Hand Vein Injury
Posted: 12-13-05 17:55pm

Hi everyone-

my mother recently hurt her hand on-the-job. A part of a machine hit the

vein on the top of her hand and busted it, causing mass swelling. They

took her to the company doctor who took an xray, found nothing broken.

Said to keep ice on it and take ibuprofen. Since it is known that company

docs are "for the company" my mother decided to go to her primary care

doc to make sure everything was going to be okay with her hand [it has

been 5 days and hand is still swollen]. He refused to discuss anything

about the injury since it was on-the-job. Are there doctors that will

discuss on-the-job injuries or are they all that way?

Any injury-care suggestions or knowledge about the above question

would be so helpful! Thank you
