UPDATED. Some quack BASTARD of a "doctor" REALLY screwed my family and I today...

[Occulus]

50. Patient gave an example. Doctor decided example wasn't reasonable.

Based on what, I don't know. But the patient gave an example of behavior that would cause his back to be sore.

Because of that example, which actually was not ever the case, the Doctor decided the patient couldn't/wouldn't be able to meet the job requirements. How much would you care to wager it was something else entirely, something not at all related to the job, that made this doctor come to the decision he did?

Over the years, I have observed a marked tendency among doctors and nurses who have this sort of power- this get-a-job-or-don't kind of power- over a person's life toward using it both maliciously and mercilessly. I've come to the opinion that private firms should not be allowed to set up shop to do this; that it should be a matter for the individual's primary care physician and them alone to preside over such things.

Yes, including (perhaps especially) pre-employment drug testing.
