[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 519599, member: 6705"] DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT let them see your records. That is a violation of your rights for them to even ASK. The law ONLY requires a doctor's note that states you are released to full duties. They may have a form they wish for the doctor to fill out - my company does, and we are union, too. Just a return to work release is what it is called, and it does not mean they get to see everything, only what the doctor writes down. On our return to work release forms it asks for a diagnosis/resolution. Last year I had to turn one in because I was voluntarily off work for 3.5 days. I put MYSELF on bedrest but the supervisor could not understand why I would do such a thing - and she KNEW I had a high risk pregnancy!!! So the doctor put on there - "SELF RX'D BED REST - DOCTOR DID NOT RX" and signed that I could go back to full duties. And that was IT. [/QUOTE]
