[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1589329, member: 8481"] Correct. You can see your own doctor, but UPS has the right to send you to their doctor, once your doctor releases you to go back to work, to verify that you are capable of returning to work. Hence the third doctor clause in the contract in case the two disagree. The good part about seeing their doctor instead of yours is that there is no paperwork to complete. It is all taken care of. If you see your doctor, you need to make sure the paperwork is done. I have been to their doctor multiple times for work injuries and have never been released to return to work until I knew I was ready. Their doctor tried to send me back to work after 2 weeks of a severly sprained ankle. I told the Dr. that sure, the swelling is gone and it is not purple anymore, but it is still tender and I am still limping on it. Told him that if I re-injure it, my attorney will not be visiting UPS, he will be visiting you. Dr. Told me to take another week off and see him the following Momday for a re-evaluation. Imagine that! [/QUOTE]
