I was mandated by my employer to undergo a Fitness For Duty Evaluation. Employer utilized "deception & intimidation" to ensure attendance. The Dr. also used "deception", and refused to give me a copy of the Evaluation. Stating that "no Dr. / Patient relationship" existed, so he was not required to provide one.
I was deceived by the employer into believing that I was attending this "Evaluation" as part of my recent FECA/FMLA claims for a physical injury at work. The Dr. also claimed that I would have to request my "copy" from the Department of Labor.
This "Occupational Medicine Doctor" proceeded to perform what can only be described as a "Psychiatric Evaluation". Once I finally obtained a copy of this Doctors' Evaluation, I discovered that the Dr. stated in his Evaluation that "he was not qualified to perform the requested Evaluation!"
My employers' actions and the Doctors, have caused growing stress, causing weight loss, hair loss, loss of sleep, now I wear kevlar to work.
