[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 741741, member: 9662"] The injury that you're making fun of may be quite serious, depending on the person and how it was done. A guy in my center rolled his ankle on a parking chock and had to hop on the other foot because the injured ankle was swollen to the size of a clincher softball. I drove this guy, in a pkg car, to the hospital when I was part time. He was out for quite some time, due to a "simple" ankle roll. Next time you get hurt, and there will be a next time, maybe you should think about reporting the injury, no matter how "silly" it may seem to YOU. This would help mgmt see the true extent of "on the job" injuries, and, you never know when that silly little ankle roll will come back to haunt you. By the way, mgmt laughed at me and cursed me to my face about the hip pain I was having, which took several MRI's to find the cause. It turned out that while I was out there running/gunning to please my mgmt handler's, I tore catilage in my hip socket (torn Labrum), which wasn't easily detected, so mgmt and some Dr's told me there was nothing wrong, when all along I was actually hurt. EDIT* I must add that the mgmt that did/said these things are no longer with the company. The mgmt we have now, especially one totally safety minded on-road, would absolutely agree with what I say about reporting injuries. [/QUOTE]
