The doctor released me but I have the spinal  cord stimulator. Is that something that I

would still be considered in treatment due to  checkups after my case is settled or? Well, so,

any kind of like device that requires maintenance  and requires you to follow up with the doctor,

usually workers’ compensation, if you need  something like a spinal cord stimulator,

workers’ compensation is supposed to be  taking care of that going forward. Ok,

so, that’s a device that’s going  to need constant monitoring,

every now and then they’re going to have to mess  with it to make sure that it’s working properly

so that’s something that workers’ compensation  is going to be taking care of for a long time.
