Hi, my name is Mike, I am a 37 yearold man with CP. My electric wheelchair is broken, and has been waiting for a part for 4 months!!!!!! I have a manual wc I can use, but I am quite frustrated with having had to wait so long. Apparently this has to do with some kind of state funding or something. This has taken away ALL my INDEPENDENCE, everyday I get more and more frustrated. I just needed to vent!!!! Has anyone else had any type of problem like this?

Don't be frustrated.Hope you will get back your electronic wheelchair very soon.

Sorry to hear, it must suck having to wait that long.

Hello,
In Louisiana, there are special procedures which must be followed in medical malpractice cases. For example, in Louisiana, a claim must be filed with the State before a lawsuit can be filed. This claim is then reviewed by a panel of three Louisiana doctors, who give an opinion about whether any health care provider committed malpractice.Only after the panel has reached its decision can a lawsuit be filed. There are many complicated details to this Louisiana panel procedure, and many traps for the inexperienced Louisiana attorney
