I CAN
Well I have the employer's psychiatrist assessment. Objectively, I think it could have been much worse, but of course it is NOT in my favor (I knew there was no chance of that). He says that he disagrees with the diagnosis of "depression". His diagnosis is "adaptation problem" because I fear the potential dangers in regard to my work duties, this fear is unfounded, therefore in his opinion I do NOT NEED anti-depressants and that my PROBLEM will resolve on it's own. There is NO valid reason that I should not return to my work as a nursing aide even though I mention that the work is physically demanding and my neurologist has asked for relocation.
So there it is.
It would be totally senseless to give up now. It's very demanding to "fight" for my rights but I MUST stand up for my rights or else give in to all the CRAP they are throwing at me because they couldn't care less about my health. Working conditions are very difficult in the healthfield. I have had to make countless sacrifices (like working every week-end for 11 years before I accumulated enough seniority to obtain permanency. If I would quit I would LOSE all that I have worked for. I am taking home learning refresher courses to eventually move into office work in the same branch where I would not lose my seniority. THAT IS MY GOAL... I am ALMOST there. The arbitrator may not rule in my favor but I figure the odds are in my favor. Please root for me.
