I posted about this awhile back and then I thought the problem had gone away. The agency I work for sent me a big packet of papers to fill out, including a form to be completed by my doctor. The form asks for a list of all medications I'm taking and the doctor's opinion of my physical and mental health.
Now, if I was an airline pilot (if I was a rich man, zubba zubba zubba...) or even a bus driver, I could understand the need for my employer to have this information. But I don't do anything like that. So the fact that I am under psychiatric care and taking psychiatric medication
is none of their damn business.I did not return the medical form. Recently my employer informed me that if the form was not completed and in their hot little hands by July 14th, they would dock my pay $5 an hour until the form was turned in.
I don't think this is right. The agency does not pay for my medical insurance. I'm really perturbed about this. Of course, maybe they will fire me after they find out I'm a loon, and then we're talking lawsuit.
I know, I know, paranoid thinking.
