The status of this case is that the applicant is set to be evaluated by panel Qualified Medical Evaluator, Dr. Alice Martinson, on April 10, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. If you have not done so already, I recommend you forward the appropriate mileage to the injured worker for this appointment. Meanwhile, our office has already sent all the medical records in our possession to Dr. Martinson's office on March 20, 2017. I have also prepared a persuasive cover letter to assist Dr. Martinson in her evaluation. In my cover letter, I ask Dr. Martinson to specifically address causation in this case. I believe we both agree that the mechanics of the alleged injury most likely falls under a cumulative trauma claim, as opposed to a specific injury. From applicant's
Zamudio, Human Resources Administrator and acting custodian of personnel records of the Domino Realty Management Company who allowed access, and copies in support of any relevant information pertaining to any injuries, had located a “Work/School Status Report” under the name of the “Talbert Medical Group.” The document had placed the claimant off from work from 2-5-01 through 2-5-01 for pain to the claimants left knee, and yet, according to Ms. Zamudio, the document did not state that a work related injury occurred as there were no other documentation in support of an injury. Furthermore, the witnesses had not cited any job related incidents where the claimants left knee from 2001 had been injured were the alleged 2001 left knee had been irritated or exacerbated in any
On Monday, 11-16-2015 she recalled the claimant had punched in early for work that morning and did not say anything to her until shortly later around mid-morning when the claimant came into her office. She said the claimant was brief with her when she requested to file a Workers’ Compensation claim for her alleged right wrist injury coupled with pain to her right fingers. She claimed that her injury was work-related, and her injury occurred on 11-12-2015.
Ms. Almanza claimed she researched and provided the claimant’s entire personnel file for this investigation and stated she was not aware of any industrial-related injuries associated with the claimants said injuries, by noting that no treating physicians ever provided any causation or the implied injuries. She provided proof with the claimant’s personnel file taken into as evidence by stating there was no medical evidence, doctors note or request of modified work duties to suggest any medical
The first key issue was to determine whether PVYW 's injuries were inflicted during the course of her employment or not. Since PVYW's injuries were inflicted on a work trip and also that PVYW had taken the evening off on the day of her injuries and wasn't actually working, the question arises that whether the time period in which PVYW's injuries were incurred should be considered as an
Due to the evolving nature of Trauma Informed approach organizations are on the ongoing change process at a different level towards the continuum. Hence many agencies in St. Louis might still be in the process of the paradigm shift the TIC implementation requires. In light of this, we planned to identify five different agencies which have successfully implemented the organizational changes to accommodate TIC. It is challenging to determine agencies which implemented this correctly. However observing the paradigm shift in perspective, attitude, and skills among the agencies could inform where a particular agency is at the level of the change process. Likewise, agencies practice of operationalizing the principles of trauma-informed care will

It may be to your benefit to have us examine your case as the circumstances and the severity of your injury will determine the
Your introduction is very engaging and emphasizes the important role of communication after experiencing trauma. I believe your topic is very relatable because there is a sense of denial, seclusion, and dissociation that correlates with trauma and loss that many of us have experienced. Open communication within a family unit provides opportunities to express thoughts and feelings and develop appropriate coping strategies (Zambianchi & Bitti, 2014). In your intro you stated, "The impact childhood trauma has on our society and on children." As a suggestion, maybe you could expand on this statement or state specific impacts childhood trauma has on our society or on children. I love your examples of evidenced based interventions and how

Supportive responses by family after an assault have been linked to improved mental health for the victims of sexual trauma, (Lovett, 2004). How the family of a victim responds to the sexual trauma is crucial, it can impede the healing process or benefit the healing process. Negative responses from family can lead a victim to adverse coping mechanisms and behaviors. According to James and Gillian (2013), “The recovery of survivors of sexual assault is enhanced by the empathetic help and understanding of the people close to them” (p. 260). It is common for family to be unsure of how to act around a loved one who is a victim of assault. It is imperative for family members to love a victim with perfect love through the trauma. 1 John 4:18 says “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (KJV). A victim of sexual assault will be fragile and unsure of the world around them. God tells us to support them in these times in Acts 20:35 “I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Lastly, when walking with a loved one through a sexual trauma, God instructs us to bear the burden to fulfill His law. Galatians 6:2 says “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill
The relationship between childhood trauma and emotional issues affecting relationships in adulthood is a topic that has been examined within many cultures and ethnicities. Carlson, McNutt, and Ramos (2004) found African American women and White women showed more similarities than differences in the associations between most abuse experiences and depression and anxiety, as well as types of childhood abuse. The team chose to examine the link between childhood maltreatment, and the ability to maintain healthy relationships in adulthood within African American women. The team found that there is an increased risk of psychological symptoms, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and daily hassles among African American women that
“They did an autopsy… They have found the poison in your father’s body… I started putting poison in his tea before I came to Nsukka.” (Adichie 290) Mama finally poisoned Papa to death. She resorts to killing her husband to terminate the oppression and cruelty she suffers from him. This is a commonly used strategy adopted by traumatized women to do away with the force behind their trauma. Just like Maya of Anita Desai’s Cry the Peacock, a neurotic character who murders her husband, Gautama to make worthy her survival. Mama severely suffered several tortures from her husband, being “Excluded from access to forms of power that will protect herself and her children, Beatrice resorts to violence herself” (Stobie 427).
