wtf. this is terrible. why didn’t the doctors support it? they couldn’t verify it was caused by the gas?
No one believed me. Kept shoving anti-depressants at me.
Took better then 2 years to find out what the stroke like symptoms were. They were strokes, go figure.
Toxic exposure activated factor 5 Leiden. So my blood clots like crazy now. Wasn’t an issue before.
Again, doctors don’t like to get involved.
Wife had a horrific cough for a year, then recovered. Kid isn’t the brightest anymore. But that’s hard to prove.
Overall you experienced systemic failure: the business fails to protect the customer but isn't held accountable, the health profession focuses on managing the individuals mental health instead of recognizing the exposure¹, government regulation did not protect you or help you afterwards. Legal needs evidence and money to make it work. It's all too hard and no one wants to know.
Whats really scary is that happens more than you think... And unless you are a part of a class action of people with similar issues, or you have power and influence, or it is a widely recognized issue, its really hard to deal with.
Look after yourself, your family and do your best.
¹ There could be studies in medical journals, or toxicology reports published by govt or others, but that doesn't mean your doctor will read or follow them. They might help extend your understanding though.
There are tons of risk factors for everything. If you're a smoker, and you worked in an asbestos factory, did the cigarettes or the factory give you lung cancer?
I'm a little surprised that some kind of gross negligence doesn't apply, regardless of any damages proven. Perhaps there wasn't any evidence they were aware?
Weird experience
