[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 384732, member: 5529"] Waiting a week because he was sore is one thing. He was,as he put it,in incredible pain. Worked three more months,as he put it, with horrific pain. If the pain was that bad it should have been reported immediately,let them send you to the company clinic,but the next place he should have gone to was a specialist preferably an orthopedic specialist thats surgically trained. Instead he went to three appointments before he went to HR to "plead" to go to another doctor. You don`t have to plead anything ,just go yourself,your allowed a second opinion of your choosing. Then he is talked into going to a fourth appointment before he grows a pair and demands an MRI. Then,he claims, upon his return he is met by management who were informed of what was said during a confidential doctors meeting and he does nothing about that. N.E. is partly right. He`s may not be smart be he is certainly naive as are many when they are injured. You don`t have to go to the clinic if you are injured,you can demand to be taken straight to the E.R. Also Ups can require you to see their doctor but you have the right to see,and follow the directions of,your own doctor. Once again preferably an Orthopedic Specialist. The loss of income is a poor excuse if you don`t realize that getting proper treatment the first time will minimize the amount of time your out of work and will get you back to work without increasing the injury. Shady is posting his run for the nomination for Teamster President on other threads yet here he shows a lack of knowledge in how to handle just this one segment of the big picture. [/QUOTE]
