[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 223495, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS][B]Fran, sorry I'm a bit late on this. As an epileptic for 40 plus years, I've learned not to share that type of information with employers. I've worn a medical alert pendant under my shirt/blouse for emergency purposes. However, as my "condition" was not a disability I never asked for special accomodations. It was a non issue. My father & sister are both epileptics & do the same thing I did. We hang onto our driver's licenses by following state laws & neurologists orders. My dad needed a special class driver's license & his neurologist cleared him for it. The company he worked for never knew or needed to know of his condition. Now if easy child were having regular active seizure activity that would be another story. I guess I'm saying all this in case easy child loses his beloved job & needs to find another. (That would be cause for wrongful termination unless his terms of employment specifically asked about medical conditions that might put him or others at risk. And that would be determined by neurologist.) Epilepsy, possible seizure activity has always been a catch 22 for employees/employers. The law is vague. And saying that the statistics state that diabetics & people with heart conditions cause more motor vehicle accidents than epileptics. That's because we tend to cherish our licenses & take better care of ourselves & follow doctor's orders. [/B][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
