What do I do? I suffered a 3rd degree burn from electrodes while in therapy for a workers comp injury.?

Due to a workman's comp issue/injury (see prev ?'s: same injury, dr, lawyer), I'm in physical therapy - their Dr. of course. Part of PT is having electrode things that tingle/vibrate placed on my neck. Afterward, I felt a pain on the back of my neck. I had my daughter look and when i lifted my hair, she screams and says it looks like they put a cigar out on my neck. I immediately took pictures, & contacted my lawyer (after applying burn cream). The lawyer said "it doesnt affect anything unless it gets so infected it scars and needs plastic surgery". He was SO unconcerned about it. He didnt even want to see the pics. When I went back to the dr, I showed him and all he said was we wont do the electrodes for awhile. It hurts like hell & looks even worse. It IS infected by the way. I dont have insurance & the hospital will charge me full $ to treat it. What do I do? Do I get new atty? here's pics of it: (the burn is DEEP)http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/barbperez/burn%20photos [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/barbperez/burn%20photos/pic051707_1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/barbperez/burn%20photos/pic051707_4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/barbperez/burn%20photos/pic051707_3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u304/barbperez/burn%20photos/pic051707_5.jpg[/IMG]

  3. The doctor that that ordered the procedure will treat your burn if he thinks it is bad enough.By the time you have a court date set your neck should be just fine.You signed a medical consent form before you were treated .You allowed the physician to treat you by filling out the paperwork in the lobby of the doctors office.Read the forms that were given to you along with the HIPA forms you read and signed
  4. get a attorney
  5. You need either a personal injury attorney or a medical malpractice attorney. They will evaluate your case. The provider really should treat your further injury for free.
  6. Get another attorney a sue the he** out of everyone concerned; including your old attorney! Then file a grievance with the state board of whatever state you live in against your old attorney.
