I’m a stage 4 cancer patient who can no longer complete my job as nurse assistant without excruciating pain. My oncologist wrote a letter stating that my job is to be lighter or he recommends a job transfer to another ancillary position. I work for a hospital that have several ancillary positions open however they are forcing me to compete for those positions. They currently put me on light duty for a couple of months. This was decided by our insurance carrier. Is this legal? My boss keep recommending that l go on LTD. I’m 47 years old and I’m still useful. I feel like I’m being forced out of the workplace.
