I was hurt in a car accident on 12/28/99. It was a back injury (neck and jaw too, but they are healed) A week later my job requested a letter of clarification of my Doctors Rx for "light duty PM private duty car" (I'm a nurse), so I wrote a letter stating that the job I do (watching an old guy sleep) is not going to hurt my back or aggravate it. I've worked doing this since then. Last week there was a sign posted that nights are now to do AM care which involves alot of bending over, and I tried it once, went home crying in pain. Now I get the impression that this may come down as being a directive that this care is to be done by the night shift which means I can't do it. If I refuse with the reasoning that I'm still on light duty, can they fire me? And if they do should I add that to the lawsuit going on with the car accident? Isn't this discrimination? Especially since they've already let me stay there for almost four months?
