When my huband was injured during basic training, his sargent sent him down for the therapist to have a look, the therapist was told there was loud popping in his back and proceeded to work on him without doing any tests to make sure nothing major was wrong. After this he got worse, so they sent him to a doctoer, who did nothing but take an x-ray and diagnose him with siatica, I don’t think you can tell by an x-ray if someone has siatica, but now he’s being discharged from the Army, and they’re trying to say this was a pre-existing injury. Also everytime he asked the doctors what was wrong with his back, they just ignored him. I think it sounds like alot of medical malpractice, but I’m not an attorney, so I can’t be for sure. Does any one know?
