Getting cleared for my return to work Mood
Friday, February 27, 2009

Bring on the hoops! The flaming hoops at that!

 

First off I need a doctors note from the doctor that took me off work and we wont even address that fiasco. let's just say that I can't get him to co-operate with me and I am lucky that my work is very familiar with how unco-operative he is and is willing to take any doctors note so I can return.

 

Then we move on to the company that handle our physical assessment and evaluations. they are idiots!  In their ultimate wisdom they have decided that i need a note from my pulmonoligist/sleep doctor saying I am safe to drive with my sleep apnea even though it had absolutely nothing to do with my time off, in order to return to work!  it just so happens that doctor is out of town and will be for the next two weeks! So is workers comp going to pay me for the next two weeks since that doc ordered me off?

 

idiots

 

weeeee the fun of employment!

    And people think our medical care will improve if it is "universalized." Don't you hate how people who have no vested interest in you can have so much control over your life?? Isn't it enough to make you crazy? On the flip side, maybe this isn't quite the time for you to return, and that the next two weeks are an important part of your recovery. Just a thought . . .

    Man what a mess I have made of the day. :0( I couldn't sleep last night and got all upset about something this morning and vented on friends and they took it the wrong way and now I feel stupid. I really need to get back to normal before I hit looney tunes!

    Dear bear, You are being given the "Classical Runaround!" - I've got to see my Doc tomorrow - and know I will get the same - tho' I'm too old to work, so I don't matter (and they don't mind!) Universal Truth - the older you get, the worse it gets, and NEVER move to a working class area - that sort of address gives you the right to be insulted by almost everyone in the medical profession - apart from the ambulance drivers, who are always professional, & dentists! - they don't know where you live - their Reception staff do all that! Seriously, that's been my experience! I trust things sort out for you: what a bunfight!!! Fond regards, JaneD.

    Ahhh, I know that runaround very well. They almost pensioned me for things unrelated to Lyme. Hope things are smoothing out for you!
