disabled. The public insurer finds him completely
disabled for all work. Private insurer Interpolis
invites favourite doctors. They judge the same
person in the same period fully able for his work as
professional organizational consultant.
How did that happen? Incredible experiences with
these insurers and 20 doctors, the insurance
ombudsman and the medical counsil. Hundreds of visits
and consequential damage.
Judged ill and healthy at the same time. The yo-yo
effect. The vision of doctors, lawyers and others.
View behind the scenes. No isolated case, but daily
practice. Apparently covered up for decades. This
turned out after his report to the media.
Many other workers get the same treatment. Nobody
speaks.
He describes the consequences at home, at work and in the
company. And made it public so that no one is exposed to
these practices.anymore.
Rabobank Interpolis responds him to the claim.
Through the media: "Why doesn't he go to court?"
The striking similarity of the insurers practice for
other victims in previous book. How the cover up
works. Daily practice, saying many other victims and
experts after the disclosure: ''Policies prove
worthless if something serious happens."
Finally he describes a nasty excessive pressure by
doctors of the public Insurer that lasted 5 months.
He is the first victim of injury and illness, and of
his insurers, who discovers the truth. And publishes
the full story. What began as a diary, based on
records, notes and letters. A sad thriller.
Disclosing story of infernal five years for the man
permanently disabled for the job. He takes the
reader along unnecessary more ill making practices
of the medical world and insurers. What happened
with this entrepreneur, who fought to recover and to
return in his profession?
The book begins with what preceded the tragic
episode. The events that followed soon. Initially,
there is still room for nice moments and humor.
Then, the reader is gradually token with the author.
In amazement, bewilderment and sorrow.
After five years of medical and insurance
'treatment' his medical reports prove continuing
severe limitations. His medical file and the claim
correspondence show a trail of omissions, errors,
false denials and medical insurer-chicanes.
At the publication of his story warm responses
follow. And intimidation by some family members,
friends, business associates, doctors, insurers and
media.
He is not alone. Far from an
exception. After the publicity more and more similar
victims tell their story. It appears that many thousands never dare
to speak. Why
not?
What are the consequences at home and at work
of these victims? What are the implications for
their own company? He went public so that these
nasty practices will stop. 5 months he is threatened
with repercussions. As by miracle he resisted the
intimidation.
Unexpected he receives information from behind the
scenes. Never refuted disclosing data confirmed the
existence of this practice long before. And
denounced. Covered by time?
So far the public insurer paid 100%, private
insurer Rabobank Interpolis has left the victim with
empty hands.
