An employer of 9 years ordered me off the job and to not return without a doctor's release, which then turned into a cardiologists release. The doctor to me: I can't release you if you didn't take a medical leave. It was union BS, where a blue blood was wanting my seniority position and started a union subversion to get me out of the way, so the employer caved in to avoid being targeted himself... My health was used against me by the union to get rid of me. Yes, that is fact and nobody can ever state otherwise. Unless you want to go by the EEOC record based the alleged investigation and the NLRB rubber stamped, which clearly states that I was medically unfit for work, so the employer had to order me off the job, demoted me for not returning right away with a release, and then terminated me when I did return to work. I know, I am still dumbfounded how this could possibly happen in the USA in 2015. As for someone mentioning, oh but you could have sued... Now just think about what lawyer is going to take an incredibly complex case and expend resources on it, which may only get covered up further or a small employer would just siphon off assets declare bankruptcy, and pop right back up with minimal loss. A lot of documentation had to be followed in order to even see what was really happening.
Long story short, in 2015 the EEOC clearly stated that I was medically unfit to work and was a liability to have around, which the NLRB rubber stamped in 2016. I know Disability only cares about what they think, but it's still more proof for me now. Due to my own stubborn unwillingness to give in, I walked away from the union BS and did temp jobs, and forced myself through one more year before finally conceding that I can't do it anymore and I can't lie to myself anymore. Regardless, of how long I pushed myself, 2 U.S. Agencies determined that I was medically unfit to work already. And yes, I did download the EEOC and NLRB documentation to the Social Security appeal online as well. They now have all documentation relevant to all medical problems and disability, multiple medical leave occurrences, and relevant documents for the last 6 years regarding my case. Disability cannot just act like it is the mid 90s regarding my medical condition anymore and enough info so they can clearly see how I kept trying and kept failing.
And I have to return to my doctor soon for a refill on scripts, so I will get what you said and ask her to help with the other specialists I have seen at that hospital group I have been skipping (Kansas did everything else to abort Obamacare) due to cost, since they have all acted ready to write whatever I wanted.
