strange question

edited June 2011 in Third Trimester
Believe it or not not a health question from me. This us young to sound strange and like m a whiner but if you only knew. I'm a bartender and asst manager for a bar. Well we are super short handed and they have me working 6 data a week 12 to 16 yourself a day. I physically can't do it anymore. So what i need us for my doctor to put me on bedrest so i can still get my salary. My doctor won't do it just cause i ask. And my boss could care less that i can barely walk by 3am and then be back at 8. Any ideas on how i can maybe find a little. I'm 34 weeks.

  • Fib a little!!! Sorry about the typos
  • Anyone anyone
  • Yes... you have to keep keep and keep going in to see your doctor. I agree with @ape7998 fib a little. You can say your back hurts but the one lie I would use is your spotting blood. Dr's hate to hear that and half the time they just make up a reason why they think you are. If you say your spotting its too little of blood to still be there by the time your checked.

    But what you don't know about Dr's and insurance companies... if you continue to complain about the same thing and your doctor can't resolve it... the insurance company will order the doctor to put you on leave.
  • Spotting or swelling, but i'd seriously be scared to lie. Can your dr put you on restricted hours or light duty? Or can you go ahead and take your FMLA?
  • I can't have fmla we only have 3 employees. Light duty doesn't work we die that 10 weeks ago and we are so short handed they don't care. I'm really swollen and doctor stay blood pressure is fine so not to worry. Maybe i just have to suck it up for the next 6 weeks just really hurt from the on my feet so long. Doctor just below me off.
  • I'm so dedicated and they don't allow me to say its to much. So i wash just hoping there wash something i could say or do for doctor or l&d to give me a break.

  • Yup replace your bartending shifts. I did it when I was planning to switch jobs.
  • Wow.. see I tld my doctor the truth about everything going on and how bad I hurt and they gave me a note for restricted duty then when I said I was still in pain because I couldn't walk more then half an hour without crying in pain he finally gave me a note saying I was temp disabled, but I'm having kidney issues and had to have surgery so I dunno. Best bet is to talk to your doctor... I mean if your in that much pain something needs to be done
  • He did put me on restricted duty because me cervix was very thin at 23 weeks. That lasted all of about 3 weeks. I have a problem sayng no to these people.
