PLEASE READ THIS ALL! I work for Stonemill Log Homes and on March 9th my boss hit a power line with the crane and I was touching the bed of the crane and was electrocuted thru one arm and in my other hand was a huge metal clevis hook and the power arched between my hand and the crane bed and a explosion happened and my mouth tasted like metal and my nose smells like metal. The power company had to come and turn the grid back on as it blew out the street. The next day they sent me to their workmans comp place but they would not see me as an electrocuted person needing to go to the ER. I went to the ER for 6 hours and the dr said I had full body soft tissue damage. My lungs were inflamed and hard to breathe so they gave me multiple prescriptions for that. My eyes are constantly jumping around my head and I have a headache. He said I need to see Physical therapy and a neurologist and a heart dr and a vision test. Then workmans comp tried finding me one of their dr's but couldn't and i got consistently worse and went back to the ER for another 6 hours and the dr said all the same things I need to go to a lot of dr.s. Finally I went into workmans comp to see the nurse and she pretty much said all the same thing. I need to see many Drs and set myself up with some. I then had an appointment days later to see the workmans comp dr and workmans comp set up a taxi to pick me up as I was on drugs. On the way to the Dr the taxi got a call and turned me around. I called my workmans comp person and they said all my appointments had been cancelled and my case is being handed off to someone else who denied me to see Drs or do anything at all. There I was needing to see Dr.s being told by two ER Dr's and a nurse and no one would see me.It has now been months with them not giving me a dime for months of no work or thousand and thousands of dollars of dr visits. I then turned them into TN OSHA and Stone Mill Log homes got fined $4050 and Creekside Construction the other company they own who owns the crane got fines of $17,200 many for not having anyone trained to run a crane or having a crane never inspected when it needs to be done yearly and many other horrific things. I have heart trouble ,lung trouble, full muscle trouble, my eyes completly changed and now I have cataracts which I did not have a month before the accident as I got new glasses and a test, I get body tremors, I wake up in the middle of the night thinking I just got electrocuted and jump out of bed, I can't work or do much of living. If you're thinking of working or having this company built for you just give this all a thought. Between the company and the workmans comp someone should have stepped up! Thanks for reading
