Ok, so I hurt my back about a month ago when I fell off a step-ladder at work. why did it take me going back to the doctor 4 times and complaining about not being able to stand or sit for long periods of time without pain for them to look at my xrays (from a month ago) and say, "Oh, there's something wrong."?! I have a muscle spasm that straightened a part of my spine that's supposed to curve and I should have been in PT all of this time. I could have been done or close to it.
So corporate calls me to tell me that the PT was approved and they say it like they've done me a favor. Then the lady who called follows up with "Make sure you schedule your appointments for you days off." Really? The last time I got hurt on the job, they paid me for the first month of appointments I went to, they had a separate heading for my time sheet and everything. That was a different job, but it seems like if I got hurt at the job and it clearly wasn't my fault, then I should be able to get my treatments on the clock, too. It's not like it's a long time, it's usually about an hour for each session. That may be what I get for not getting a lawyer, but I just want to get better, I don't want to turn this into a "thing." So what does everyone think?
