[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 423057, member: 13254"] What state are you in? If your personal Doc takes workers comp, go to him/her, if not ask him/her to suggest someone. You DO NOT have to go to the company/insurance company doctor as your treating physician regardless of what UPS tells you. The company can and probably will demand that you see the company doc at some point, but they do not get to choose who treats you. Get in touch with your states Workers Comp board ASAP and find out what rights you have under state laws. If this looks like it will be weeks or months off of your regular job, take a withdrawal card from the union(call your local about this) while out on comp, this saves you from paying union dues during that time, but does not stop your union services. DO NOT let the company intimidate, harass you in anyway over this injury. DO NOT go back to full duty until YOU nad YOUR Doctor agree that it is the right time. I can't stress enough, YOU CHOOSE WHO TREATS YOU NOT UPS. [/QUOTE]
