to my work place with me. my employer said that I should bring my medication with them so they can give it to me. first place they are not doctors they do not know when I had the medication and by giving it durning a seizure it would choke me for one thing cause you can't swollow it. The other thing it could drowned you and you can only take medicine through an iv or shots. now if I want to take it for myself that one thing not to give my employer permission to give me my medication? and I only take it every 12 hours anyway do you thing because of a possible lockdown of the school that I should take a few pills on hand so I would have it just in case? what do you think what are your feelings on this?

I think you may need a signed slip from your doctor stating the reasons why your medication is crucial to your health, and the reasons why it should not be given to you by people who are not familiar with your situation, and thus not qualified. If you're underage, your parents should have a talk with the school administration, and if you are of age, you should certainly be given an exception to the lockdown. Sometimes the schools can be overly cautious, and you really can't blame them with all the shootings and drug incidents. But your case is quite different from kids who bring drugs to school to get high. You need to have some kind of understanding with the school authorities for the sake of your health and well-being. One other thing. If your dosage is only once every 12 hours, why couldn't you take your meds at home before you start your shift? You don't work a 12-hour day, do you? Then you could take it again in the evening when you're at home. Keeping pills on hand is really not a good idea, as they could get into the wrong hands. Good luck!

Personally I think your employer has a very valid reason for wanting you to have medication available there should you need it. There are possible scenarios--lockdown and others--where you *could* end up getting stuck at the school, missing your medication time, and medical personnel would not be able to get to you.
A few years ago, we had a bad ice storm that hit my area. It was totally unexpected and was so bad that *many* (as in over half) of the kids ended up spending the night at the school. Parents couldn’t get to the school to pick them up, and the buses couldn’t get them home. Of course, the school employees were stuck there too, because even if they could have gotten home, they couldn’t leave the kids there by themselves.
Just something for you to think about.
By the way, if you’re really worried about their ability to administer a shot…the schools in my area have nurses that come in each year and train the school employees on how to give shots to those that might need them.

Survival instincts, sweetie, call the cops. And get some pepper spray to maintain on you, and purchase a huge canine. That feeling got here approximately to me as quickly as, and then i spotted the guy interior the vehicle became bare and....you could wager. do no longer walk domicile on my own for awhile. The police will come tension around and look for the vehicle, no less than, it may shop them from coming lower back.
