But you, as a nuclear technician are charged with maintaining my nuclear health I'm not charged with anything. I am legally bound by local, county, state, federal, and international law to protect the general public from the release of radiation. unfortunately, right now, you have elected to absorb the cash infused to government healthcare so that your sprained wrist negates you from working for the rest of your life while I, and everybody else here, pay for your lifelong inability to work, including healthcare, for your sprained wrist. Carpal tunnel surgery, not a sprained wrist. My medical insurance covered everything but the copay. No workers comp or LTD necessary, although I did miss one day of work. Ironically, the surgery should keep me from having to suffer permanent nerve damage, in which case I would need LTD. Not sure if you are aware, but 5 years ago when I was told I was going to die due to 4th stage cancer, I didn't swallow the government lamb, I went to work to support my family. I was puking from the chemo, and paying tens of thousands of dollars (yes, I did have health insurance) for my medical care so people like you, federal employees, could get an exemption for the rest of your life for a sprained wrist caused by jerking off. because you were a federal employee. I am employed by a private corporation, not by the government. Again, not a sprained wrist, carpal tunnel surgery. EDIT: As to the rest of it, there is no need to make personal attacks. We can just agree to disagree on the subject and move on.
