So if I were to go to my doctor and miss work for some issue, what would the result be if I were to file an accident report afterward for that issue?

Are you hurt? Was it on the clock or off duty?

On clock, but didn't know until afterward. Thought it would go away, but has persisted. Worked the next day, went to doctor and missed work the following day.

Did you tell anyone when it happened or call them after you went to see the doctor?

No, I just called out of work and said I had a note. I've been hoping it would go away. Didn't think it would go on this long.

What did they say when you told them that you had a doctor's note?
U

Just to bring the note. And that he had to pull my notes.

Do you realize that you will have to be cleared by your doctor to return to work?

The note says I can return to work the day after.

This is the risk you take by not reporting an accident but we get it. Talk to your steward.

It doesn't matter how minor you may think the injury is....you report it to a sup anyway.

I know what you mean. I get bumps and bruises all the time, then they go away. I had no idea this would persist this long.

Oh FFS. Talk to your steward about the proper process to report an injury and file an accident report.
Because you did it wrong.

No, apparently you don't know what I mean.....because if I understood your previous posts correctly....you never reported it to your sup, did you? Prior to going to the doctor, I mean?

Who reports every little scrape and bruise?

I'm not talking about a bruise....I'm referring to whatever "injury" the OP went to his doctor for....yet claims that it's work related.

Right, but then this has turned into something longer lasting.

...which is why it is so important to report all injuries...
