The VFMC and TAC (Victoria) are senastaional, balanced fund managers- why not compare their performance across the world. Lazy analysis, poor writing.

I was hit from behind by a drunk driver and suffered 9 broken ribs 3 of which were quite snapped, two transverse processes were snapped as well as undiagnosed knee injury and a buggered spine.
I further more recently had finally recieved “some” further relevant diagnosis of what had happened to my hip, but the TAC refused funding for the MRI.
Well then!!!…….
With respect to misallocation of resources, this was for me tantamount to what i had allready guessed so far, being that TAC more interested in appropriating funding to “OTHER THINGS” like legal costs which this case would have been approximately 40,00 dollars.
The decision to refuse funding for the hip were on the basis of only ONE!…..initial report conducted by a rheumatologist conducted in 2004 two months after the accident, even though new medical evidence had been acumalating all the while.(4YEARS) (It took two months to get a diagnosis for brocken ribs initialy) and was obvious to every body else that this injury was caused by the car impact.
