[QUOTE="Fran, post: 223561, member: 3"] Thanks again everyone. For some reason epilepsy or the threat of a seizure makes people panic but your diabetic coma or heart attack doesn't? Doesn't seem like a level playing field. I could understand if he was an epileptic who chose to not take medications. He would be an unstable employee. We have records from his surgery on but truthfully, he has done so well he only gets blood work once a year. He is able to do the job. Proven to be a reliable, competant respectful employee. Because of something that may possibly happen he is told he has restrictions which result in no work and no pay. Can you imagine what would happen if he was 30 the sole support of 2 kids and had diabetes? Half the work force wouldn't be able to work. None of his jobs would have resulted in danger to the guests even if he had a seizure but I'm sure it's not very attractive. Hopefully, I'll find out more facts. difficult child didn't need the FMLA but "someone" told him it was a good idea to try to get it. Doofus. Life lesson learned. We want easy child to be able to work as he worked before he filled out the stupid form. We/he wants a fair chance and equal opportunity. [/QUOTE]
