Yeah, I know three years is a long time to sit around and wait to hear from them. I'm hoping the physicals at the place they relocate me to isn't run by the same idiots that ran my old place. If they are, you'll probably hear about it in the news because I'll make a whole lot of noise.

It really bugged me if you had to go to the company "hospital" as they called it, if you had a problem. If you needed to see them because you cut yourself, or had a strain or whatever, you'd sign in on a clipboard outside the door to this hospital and then you'd sit in a chair outside the open door and wait to be called. When you were called you walked into the hospital and had a seat at a stainless steel table, which was close to the front door. Anything you said could be heard by anyone else who was waiting in the chairs out front.

To make matters worse, they would call the next patient in and he/she would sit next to you at this table and get examined right next to you. The nurses would take your medical file open it up, then lay it down on the table so both you and the other patient could see it. Sometimes they needed to take you to a back room to administer to you. When that happened, your medical file stayed on the table for anyone to read. They had employees medical files laying all over the place. Anyone could pick one up and walk out with it, and the nurses wouldn't even notice. I know because I did it once, just to see if anyone would say anything.(I brought it right back without opening it, and they still didn't say anything.)

I would have loved to see someone walk out with another person's medical file and make the person's medical condition public....especially if the person had something serious like aids. If this had happened, they would have closed down the hospital and fined the heck out of them...not to mention the lawsuits that would have been filed by the employee. Unfortunately, this is what it would take to get them to change their ways.
