Of course that would be seen as noncompliance, they were choosing to be poor/have crappy insurance. We women need to just stop being so hysterical and pull ourselves up by our boot straps. (So much /s).

Oh wow! I'm so glad it wasn't at your expense. Did work retaliate for you having to be treated at their insurance expense? It's not uncommon where I live for people to be dissuaded by fear of unemployment. I wish I were being hyperbolic.

It's infuriating. We're treated as if we are naughty children, seeking excuses to play hooky from first grade,.

Yes, they did fire me after they found out it was a broken vertebra. I ended up getting an attorney and while I didn’t get my job back they did have to pay me some lost wages. It was probably for the best though, as I couldn’t have continued to do the job anyway.

Lol, naughty kids trying to play hooky is a perfect way to describe it.

Oh wow! You've been through so much! I applaud and admire your grit and durability. You go, friend!
