Nurse mgr: O my god, i forgot that i was supposed to call for jury duty today.
me: wow, well call them and explain your position and see if they can reschedule it for you. I believe we are allowed one reschedule w/in 6 months. (NYS)
Nurse mgr: do you think i should do that? or do you think i should lie and make up some excuse?
me: UUUMMM, honesty is the best policy.........
she ran out and i never saw or heard from her again!!! WTH!!

All the ones I have ever dealt with as far as WC goes are just crazy and love to twist words or to frazzle us. I had the one ask if I was pregnent because my symptoms fit pregnancy? Another went to great lengths to tell me in the parking lot that she couldn't come in because I had an attorney and she hadn't gotten permission yet but...oops...she gave her card to the doc already so could I explain to him why she wasn't there. So I did that...and the doc's work notes read like I mentioned my attorney on purpose and made a big deal out of it. That was first lesson learned. Just kept my mouth shut after that and let the doctor talk to that woman. You just can't act like a normal person around these people and it's sad.
