All of these responses have been helpful, thanks. It is telling that neither my doctor or lawyer knew how to describe my R&Ls. What got submitted was pretty bad, examples
"Dan is restricted from
- any task involving others
- any task involving any level of complexity
- any task involving deadlines"
Sadly, this was the best he could do. Since the insurer knows I go food shopping they could easily say this was a task involving others. The potential violence topic is interesting since I do in fact have those fantasies in the workplace, nothing concrete just fantasies.
The same day this was submitted I had to do a phone interview with the insurer UNUM. Among their questions:
"Did you work a full day on your last day at work?"
me: yes
"Did you complete all your duties on your last day at work?"
me: yes I had to
"So you were able to do all the duties of your job on your last day at work?"
me: <no answer, just confused>
The above trick questions can now easily be used to refute any R&Ls provided by my MDs, no matter how well those are written. I am learning a lot, but too late in the game.
