Thank You also John999: Doctor Ellis has helped several local doctors get paid but many are satisfied to practice with their "head in the sand," while their staffs are busy polishing their fingernails and still getting paid.
Doctor Ellis has been attempting to tell other doctors for many years just how lucrative the FECA Claims Business is and can potentially be for willing doctors.
Just go to Ellisclinic,Com and see what Dr. Ellis has been saying for many, many years.
Respectfully,
Dave Kirtley
p.s. I can use all of the help anyone has to offer.

Thanks, I understand. I'm aware of the literature on NALC website, was just hoping for more.

Need pictures of your hands!! We are doing a vidoe for youtube to expose the dept of labor for denying 50% of our carpal tunnel claims. The pix could be taken in positons of stress as in doing your job or artistically against a dark background. The scarred,calloused,cracked and bruised backbone of the usps hands. It's going to be moving and done in the best taste. Please send to pfmorris58@hotmail.com

If someone like Dave could do outreach to these dumbass doctors to let them know that getting money from OWCP is no harder than regular insurance if they take the time to educate their staff's that person could make a million bucks. OWCP's relationship with the provider community is horrible. They should be doing seminars to educate providers how to use the system. But they don't really want to do this because it would cost money, and their mission is to save money at the expense of the injured.

I do understand that claims examiners are on case overload and they are treated like we are from their supervisors and I always tried to examine both sides of the coin before passing judgement but I truly feel that this system is designed for failure and those of us that are hurt suffer the consequence. I do blame them for the fact that my back, feet and legs are shot and that I will spend the rest of my life with chronic pain issues, I liked my job and the money and I love to work I wasn't looking to be homebound But I am more fortunate than some because I will not let them take my dignity, honesty and most of all they can't take away me, I will remain respectful of people and life as it is much too short too harbor anger

I just read the comments to the you tube video and I am always amazed at the ignorance of some people the comments seem to outnumber us and implicate that the general population and our coworkers think we are lazy and liars. Boy does that comment bring back memories ( Pam Littleton ) I wish they could walk in our shoes for 24 hours( most believe we only hurt from 8-5) But I am wondering if we are considered lazy, liars do we qualify for a position at DOL! sign me I really do hurt 24 hours a day and had a life

Q and A/ Why were you out of work? Was it an on the job injury or illness? Was it covered under FMLA? Have they given you a reason on why they are requiring a fitness for duty examination?

Q and A-
Fitness for duty is basically a physical to see if you can come back to work. Your doctors restrictions will still hold. The nurse or PO doctor has nothing to do with this. I believe the only time a doctor can override your doctors restrictions is a second opinion or referee doctor.

Also, the clerks have the right to fight for their duties. They may be able to add another job with your clerk duties plus all the clerk overtime and such.

mailman-
Do you have a meeting with NRP? This is usually a process with at least 3 meetings before they walk you out. It might take 6 months to complete. I would ask for a DRAC if you want to stay, that should drag it out a little longer.
If you are hurt on the job they MUST treat you at MINIMUM like a disabled person under the Rehabilitation Act. This is definitely EEO mat.erial
