Can your job be threatened because of complaints made on the health care provider you work for?

It sounds like discrimination no matter how you describe it or what they advise you to do or not to do. I would contact your local disabilities office and report the discrimination... they would then be able to give you the best advice on how to proceed.

It certainly can if you have the right attorney.  Racial remarks are a form of sexual harrassment and the company, along with the person, and the supervisor can be held liable for it.  The USA has laws in place that prohibits anyone from having to work in a hostile work environment.  The first step you need to take is to contact the human resource (or personnel) department of your workplace and tell them your story.  You need to write down what was said, the date it was said if you remember, and who was, if anyone, a witness when the person said it.  If the human resource department does not do anything about this, go above their head and contact the main office.  If this option is not available to you, I would consult with an attorney to determine what the next step is you should take. \nBe sure to have with you a copy of the complaint, if one was given to you, to take to the attorney.

If you signed a contract you are probably stuck in it. The health club I worked at would cancel a person's contract if they got ill or moved 25 miles away from the club. You might want to try one of those excuses.

You can definitely sue them for this.It was a complete violation of your patient rights and the law gives you the space to do so.I would contact a personal injury attorney first to see if they can help you if not they should be able to recommend one for u.\n\nGood luck with this and I'm sorry this happened to you.

Report this to your immediate supervisor verbally and in writing. Use words like "profanity", "hostile workplace", "sexual harassment", "neglect", and "elder abuse".\n\nAsk the patient's family to advocate on her behalf regarding a set bedtime and to not have those employees in her wing.\n\nRequest that the guy has his shift and wing changed so that you do not have to work with him.\n\nGood Luck! This seems like a pretty bad situation for everyone involved. I hope everything works out.

Your boss has no rights to tell anyone about your condition to coworkers or customers.  You can take legal action against him and the company.

One of the things I’ve made sure at my doctor’s office is to have a number to call for a reasonable response time.  There is a nurse on duty who responds to such calls and has the ability to contact the doctor (or anyone else) in a very direct manner.  In other words there is a way to get around the telephone answering system if there is a real need.\n\nIn general however, more and more companies have such systems and it seems to be increasingly difficult to contact a real person and then a real person who can actually address your problem.  \n\nAs has been suggested written letters to the head of the organization you are having problems with is a good solution.  Really do keep them positive.  Try to understand their problems and calmly express your challenges to communicate with them.  You can even ask how this can be done differently so that such problems are minimized in the future.  You may be pleasantly surprised with the response..

If the patient does not pay there bill or if they repeatedly do not show up for visits or if they are non- compliant. I know I work at an ob/gyn office.

You DO have legal recourse, regardless of anything you may have done to pizz her off.  She might just blow away if you were to confront her and answer her questions and take her hostile comments so she she could get it out of her system.  Then again, she could cut the brake cables on your car.  Obviously she is obsessed with knowing fine details about who you are, and is in a poor state of mental health.  Such people can be very dangerous.  Get in touch with local law enforcement now and ask them what can be done.  Your coworkers are witnesses.  The police are there to protect you, not to judge you.

not only can you collect workmans comp, your employer could get into a lot of trouble for knowingly letting you work without the doctors approval!!!!!

Yes. If you are out to prove that your injuries were the result of negligence by management, you are going to have to prove that your working conditions and those of other people who have similar job assignments inevitably lead to those surgeries. If however, you are the only one who keeps needing surgeries and everyone else is fine, then management can reasonably argue that you are simply a klutz and incompetence on your part is the primary cause of your injuries.

You could talk to the patient's family and without being a tattletale or a rat, ask how their parent is doing.   Suggest that their loved one may be a little upset lately.   Their voice will override your complaint.  Try not to get caught doing this, you could stir up trouble and then nothing would get accomplished.  After all aren't you there for the welfare and care of the elderly?

Keep in mind that pharmacists are human too. \n\nAt the pharmacy i work at 99% of called in prescriptions are by nurses, not the prescribing doctors, and talk real fast with food in their mouths since most call-ins are during lunch time when no patients are in the office :)\n\nYes a complaint and report is probably a good idea, but really suing is just dumb unless it actually resulted in a damage. Trust me, if the pharmacy you go to is anything like the one I work in, the "talk" he received will not be soon forgotten.

Oh my gosh, did you work at the same place I did?  Your story sounded exactly like the situation I had.  Management and supervisory positions had changed at my work and from then on, the nightmare began.  The witch who rose to power was a narcissitic, egotistical backstabber who made it so unbearable for everyone. She continuously found it amusing to berate, belittle and degrade each and every employee in the company by telling us that we were underworked and so grossly over-paid (we all made more $$$$ than her). Someone who is in the psychology field said that this supervisor's had low self-esteem issues (she weighs close to 300 lbs.)and it is satisfying to her to put others down in order to feel better about herself.  She can't control her weight so she tried to control others.  Unfortunately, confronting this supervisor only compounded to the problem, as she could not take constructive criticism from ANY employee...and talking to the owner of the company proved to be useless, as he always avoided any type of problem or confrontation issue.  Since I did not have an advocate or anyone I could really turn to, the stress of going to work every day was taking it's toll on my health.  For peace of mind and sanity, I gave them my two weeks notice but did not burn my bridges upon my resignation. It is a good idea to have something lined up to go to, especially if you need the income and medical benefits.  You really don't want to be at the mercy of your current employer when it comes to recommendations or verifications.  Good luck.....

Your employer can call the doctor's office and ask if they provided a doctor's note for you. They just can not ask what you were treated for or for any medical information.\n\nI work in HR and even if you are able to get a dr's note and your company accepts it, I can tell by your attitude that sooner or later you will work your way out of this job.

Call HR and file a complaint.

Everyone is entitled to have an off day.  Don't take it personally unless it becomes habitual or there is a threat made.  At that point inform your supervisor/manager of the activity.  There may be an Aggressive/Anger Behavior that needs attention by people that have been trained on how to deal with the problem.  Your supervisor/manager should have a crisis number to call if he deems necessary.  If it’s your boss that has the issue call your HR Dept. (HR will handle the call or direct you to the proper party). He may have had previous issues with others and this is information the company needs to take action one way or the other.\n\nEveryone is expendable.  But at the same token everyone is valuable.  It all depends on weather the individual has a valid case of harming or damaging people or property.\n\nDoes this issue involve a Union?  This would simply require filing a grievance.  \n\nTaking action or replying in a negative fashion is often acted on prematurely, wait a day and then reply.  Sometime what you think happened was actually what your mind made of it without thinking things through.\n\nGood Luck
