[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 519574, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=3]I would not sign the release. Your entire medical records do not pertain to this particular episode. What many HR departments do is request the doctor's notes pertaining to this particular illness, which is reasonable. Perhaps you could speak with the person asking for the release and suggest that. Under the law, they cannot fire you for illness. However, they can give away your position and simply offer you something else when you do return. Or, as others have stated, they can fire you for something else entirely separate from your illness for bogus reasons.... I think you need to speak with someone else in your union to be certain what your exact rights are and what your next step should be. As an aside, be careful about trying to put on weight to quickly just to get that doctors note. It could act as a trigger and cause you to slip again. Just be careful, hugs. [/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
