Q: I was getting workmen now they are stopping it but my doctor said on this paper my condition is permanent and stationary
What is going to happen next
A: It all depends on what this doctor wrote about you. If this doctor wrote you can resume all preinjury duties, you should be back on the job ASAP. If he wrote you have permanent work restrictions, you take his writing on those permanent restrictions to Human Resources and request a permanently modified job. If he wrote something inaccurate or untrue or left out body parts or problems, you object and get a Qualified Medical Evaluation -- QME -- with a better doctor. and because you have no idea how to find a better doctor, you should have an attorney getting you to a REAL doctor for the QME evaluation. While you are looking for an attorney, if you cannot resume work and the doctor wrote you will not perform your old job, you get Unemployment from www.edd.ca.gov ...and you look for a new job.
