Ivan, I know some of the trials and tribulations you have suffered in recent
times, and this situation you described is deplorable.  I can't make it go
away, but I have some suggestions. Keep up the fight to get compensation, but
try not to spend a lot of money to do it, that will only make things worse,
as you know. A well written letter is more effective than a battery of
lawyers, if it gets to the right place, at the right time.
Maybe they have ways they can compensate you, other than cash, which they may
not have available. I am only guessing here, but maybe they could send you
vouchers for needed services that you could get in your home, or medication,
or equipment. I don't know how high in the organization you were able to get
so far, I would hope you contacted the CEO, or Chairman of the Board, or
whoever is responsible for the reputation of the organization.  Did you ever
get in contact with the specialist who was not available?  Revenge will not
help you, but compensation will. I would call what happened malpractice.  I
am sure they would rather have good publicity than bad. that may be their
Achille's Heel, if you can contact the right person.  See if you can find out
who their major benefactors are, and write to them.
I have been burned more than once by incompetent, dishonest, and greedy
corporations, but I have been able to get compensation, and a certain amount
satisfaction, by constantly calling, writing, and/or suing, or threatening
the same, until I won.  I always start out with the premise that they just
made a mistake and did not mean to dissappoint a client, but if they did not
respond properly, I just got "mad as hell, and kept up the pressure. You WILL
prevail, but make it be THEIR problem, not yours! Good luck! Ken B
