On Medication and Medical Benefits....thank God that most of the companies nowadays provide medical benefits for their employees ( albeit the rising cost of medication ).
Remember I said that I was down in the dumps for about a week before this? Well, in that week alone, I frequented my company's appointed medical practitioner about 4 times with the same complaint each and everytime....."I am getting worse Doc", " Could you give me something stronger Doc", "Doc this la", "Doc that la", "Wassup Doc la", etc.....but it was to no avail. So, I ended up on the company's downtime list because I had to take 2 days off. Finally had the strength to report for work after 2 days konking in bed ( without sex mind you ). All that was after visiting another GP ( not appointed panel ), to get a super dose of 80mg of penicillin jab and some super strong antibiotics ( By the way, my arse is still aching from the jab ).
Its very good that companies are looking after the welfare of their staffs nowadays but my question to the above ( after a week of suffering ) is:
-Could all of this be avoided in the first place if the appointed panel had given me appropriate meds for my condition rather than their allowed budgetary condition ( set by the company )?
-Wouldn't it be more prudent if the downtime for employees be reduced rather then to waste numerous trips to the clinic?
Thar She Blooooooows!!!!! The Doc for our appointed panel actually told me that they will be queried if the bill is too high. BADABOOM...it hit me like a sock full of tuna, here I am getting myself listed under losstime because the appointed GP is scared to prescribe me proper medications? Here I was suffering for 5 days, walking around like a bloody zombilized Power Puff Girl just because some twerp GP is scared to issue me proper Meds? What the hell...I really rest my case...ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong dudes and dudettes, my company is quite ok in terms of benefits. I just feel that the selection process of appointed medical panels be more stringent and specific.
HEY! less downtime = more productivity = more profits right?
Comments anyone?
