The owner and I have talk by note. Boss told me that she was afriad let me work as waiter because it request hard physical. It will possible made my hip worse. I was like what that suppose to be??

So I went to see doctor and my doctor gave me a look and say, "Your boss want a note??" I nodded my head and she gave me a note. So I gave to my boss and say with impossible express "It will made a worse for your hip! (sigh) I will talk to your doctor" Its impact me and treat me like a childish. Does the boss have authorization contact my doctor due it my personal and felt invade my personal life.

So I feel that my boss is try cover up or avoiding??
your boss sound like she was trying to make sure you don't get injury more at a job.. dishwasher job is more "safer" than the waiter. because you only get chance to stay in same area.. waiter requires to walk around, carries lots of weights (with foods/drinks on the tray) etc.. that also can "lead" back problem too.. What kind of Hip sore you got ??

Like Vam said get a document from doctor on what kind of limitations you can do with work, or so... It is better this way...

I know I can't lift lots of weight due of neck/upper back injuries but If I take a risk with injuries again then I will do it. But no way for now, because my son need me to be well for him than myself get injuries again.. altho I am still waiting for the baby to be born I am at 38 weeks. And yes the baby is already giving me some pain in my buttock/hip area I have had some problem with weight pressuring soo Im hoping doc do something soon cuz His "way" won't do it rather fullterm instead of early.. even if it was Late born he prefer wait until baby is ready.. so i will "Argh" at him if he postpone LOL..

Know what I am saying Ideaf ?? Most of job injuries can be worse or pain in butt for having carries/hauling lots of weight due of dishes,cups,foods,drinks and etc on the tray (Large tray if possible) Oh One question where is this job ? mostly with hearing people eating at the place ? if so.. I notice you said you communicate with your boss by note so.. How do you communicate with people ordering foods ? (Just curious that's all)
