Dear Dr. Comp:
I am a St. Louis attorney who is addicted to calling the St. Louis Division of
Workers' Compensation. I call approximately 84 times a day. I even dream of
calling and requesting injury numbers. I also doodle the division phone number
on legal pads all day long. I'm even thinking of putting the phone number on my
license plate. Is this condition diagnosed? Are you aware of any prescription
remedies? Devoted Division Dialer Dear D.D.D., While some may confuse your addiction with a devotion to your work, others
(namely, the division staff) would likely ask that you seek immediate treatment
for your condition. I would suggest trying to break your habit by dialing the
Second Injury Fund phone number randomly throughout the day. If this doesn't
resolve the problem, at least it will give the Division Staff a break and allow
you to build relationships with the staff of other members in the legal
community. Dr. Comp (Dr. Comp is not licensed to practice medicine or anything in any state or
country worldwide. His opinions should not be applied to your own practice at
any time.)
