When WCB Claims Block Care

David Clegg, a Calgary worker injured in 2022, faced a nightmare journey to treatment after falling off a ladder and developing a neurological condition—blocked by his open Workers’ Compensation Board claim. Clinics rejected him outright, forcing him to hire a lawyer just to get heard, while he endured daily migraines. After media attention, the Alberta Neurologic Centre reversed course, admitting he wasn’t automatically disqualified—and even offered fast access. With WCB giving him two months to find care, the same clinic stepped in, and David got his first appointment today, already receiving a nerve block and set to start Botox and meds. A win after a brutal fight, proving public pressure can shift the system. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
