my pdoc won't let me. i have been summoned 3 times since being diagnosed, told him about it, said no right away and i got a letter from him saying so within 3 days each time. he thinks there would be far too many triggers for me.

I get called for jury duty at least once a year, and I have had to serve every time. I do so with honor.

I don't see my BP or arthritis as disabilities, I see them as challenges to be overcome. Therefore they are not a good reason to get out of jury duty. I vote, I speak up, I serve jury duty as any normal person does.
