But on those occasions when I was in bad shape, I'd probably have survived if only I could have shut off the ringer on the phone and locked my office door for a few hours. In fact, when I had my breakdown and was going back to work, my pdoc asked for that accommodation and I was denied. I couldn't perform my job without it, so I got fired.
That is absolutely awful what happened, I literally cannot believe that they could do that.

Even in a legal sense, it is simply unbelievable.
