Thank you guys for you input, i have been thinking about consulting with a lawyer and at least tell me if i am getting screwed here. Here is what happened, i have been dealing with chronic elbow pain since august of last year. Was diagnosed from my own dr/surgeon as tennis elbow. I have two injections of cortisone, and it only lasts until work requires me to do something that reaggrevates it. I filed an accident report with my employer, because of the reaggrevation of the injury. The workmen's comp DR, said in her opinion that it was a legit claim. She put me on restricted duty, which to me seemed fairly easy to comprehend. I was also given physical therapy. My Dr said that i needed to have an operation, and should consider changing jobs. It has been a daily battle with the moron i have to call a supervisor, it is" so what do you think you can do today ". I called the Dr she said, read the restrictions. Well, yesterday, the main boss..which i really haven't come up with the right name to call him yet, told me to make a list of jobs i could and couldn't do.?? Well, i called the Dr's office, they was like..what? Told me to have them fax a job list and the dr would cross off the things i shouldn't do. Seems simple enough right? Well i told the @#$^@@^@@ that and i was told i HAD to make him a list and that we needed to have a meeting!! So, we met, I was informed that i worked for him and not the Dr, so if i was told to make a list then that is what i am to do, now. I was so pissed, i made a list, and gave it to him, and made several copies of it, i gave one to the dr's office and haven't heard anything from that yet. Does this sound legal? To me it doesn"t I thought i had to follow dr's orders and she made the decisions. Feedback would greatly be appreciated. Thanks CGT, wyndhy, and osuche.
