[QUOTE="NextDayAirGuy, post: 156333, member: 7112"] So today I went to the "Doc in a Box" location contracted with UPS. Took some x-rays, nothing broken, but the doctor acknowledged the severe swelling. I showed him pictures of the container (from [url=http://www.ups.com]UPS Global Home[/url]) that smashed my foot and he was amazed nothing was broken. I asked him to stick a needle in the swollen area and drain it, he refused citing the company would not approve it and I had to just walk on it in pain for the next few weeks. He gave me some tylenol and some pain relief cream to rub on it and said see you in five days. For what I said? He said for a check up. I tried to say no thanks, but my boss says I have to go back. I'm considering a second opinion. For the meantime I am back on the ramp, business as usual, no light duty. [/QUOTE]
