Yeah, I wondered how the heck they got around the ADA on that one, so I did some research. Sure enough, they found a loophole that let 'em weasel out of it by claiming the accommodations my pdoc asked for would have created 'undue hardship' for the company, and since I couldn't continue in the job without them, I had to go.

Crap, all I wanted was for someone to run a little interference for me when a resident's family member decided to crawl up my butt for something I had no control over, and to have a couple of hours of uninterrupted work time per day. And that was just so I could take it a little easier until I got stabilized and back up to usual productivity. But no, they couldn't handle that, so they kicked me to the curb.

Ironically, my son (who still works there) told me that three nurses have interviewed for my position since I left, and all three have walked away because the job is too much for one nurse to manage. That gives me some vindication, knowing that I really wasn't that crazy........both my pdoc and PNP have told me the same thing, but until I heard this today I was still telling myself "If only I'd been stronger" and "If only I weren't cursed with this #$&%! illness". Now I know it wasn't JUST me, and that's oddly comforting.
