Urgent care doesn't open till 8 and I'd rather deal with the doc that's been with me on this since the beginning because of the FMLA stuff. You can puncture a lung or even arteries. You can also collapse a lung so I totally understand. It hurts too much to move anyway.Does your insurance have an instant care? We have these walk in clinics and can go right in. I like them because when I go to my doctor my visits are at least an hour and usually two hours. At the clinic, they address the immediate issue and 15 minutes with doc and I’m out the door.
I know, you know, the danger is that you could puncture a lung, and even though you know this, I am reminding you to be super careful as you wait. Keep us informed. It might be time you start thinking of claiming disability at work and insuring you don’t have to do ANY lifting when you go back.
I can't go back unless I can lift because that's part of my job. We don't have time to be running around doing the leg work for someone else. We are a very busy commercial kitchen. I have no short term disability on my ins coverage so that's a no go.
