ER treats you as a number after a head injury...
The above stories seem to be a norm for people like us who have injuries that others cannot wrap their brain around let alone understand. I too am in the same boat. My ER has set up road blocks to make it more difficult for me to return and has not engaged in any open talks with me about accommodations (I hope some or all of you who were fired\terminated at least explored the option of an ADA claim if at least for a temp timeframe. For example, I dont know how another potential ER who doesnt know your medical\accident history will tolerate a new employee needing to miss work a few times a month becasue of severe HA's or needing to rest while at work becasue the medication you are taking hasnt kicked in enough.
I cannot imagine that chronic headache and continuing cognitive issues would not qualify someone who wants to work to return to their ER under ADA protection, but unfortuntely the ER seem to get out from under these claims and we continue to suffer,
It is refreshing to see there are some members here who have returned to work and seem to be thriving now.
