So sorry you are going through this Goodguy. I too was diagnoised and hospitalized at the hospital where I worked as an RN.....I was given a medical leave of absence but was unable to return to work when that expired and was told my position could not be held but, I could apply for other openings within the hospital. Needless to say, upon applying, I was not "qualified" or the positions available. It was more than I could handle and did not work for a year. Upon re-entering the work force, I must admit, I did not put my existing condition of Bipolar on any of my paperwork nor did I admit the condition to my prospective employers. It was amazing just how qualified I was and how many job offers I received when no one knew of my condition.
It is not legal to discreminate, but proving it is the problem.
