Hello everyone
I wasn’t sure if this belonged here but I just feel like I needed Reddit’s input on the situation.
So I work/worked for an IFT ambulance company in California for about 4 years. Every year or so we need to get a physical that’s required by the DMV which goes by the name “DL-51.” I’ve never had a problem in the past but this time around made me feel uneasy and somewhat discriminated and stereotyped(mainly because I look like a hippie.) While at the facility I’m supposed to fill out a few forms regarding my health history. There was a question on there regarding marijuana use which I had marked non user. The doctor evaluating me started asking me personal questions and asked if I use marijuana. I said I did when I was younger but not anymore. He goes on to request a rapid test which I end up passing but that wasn’t enough to satisfy him. He called the ambulance company that I work for and told them about me using marijuana. He goes on to request a federal test and I get suspended until the results returned. Fast forward a month and the facility is stating that they lost the federal test. My ambulance company is requesting that I go back and take a third test. I’m at a loss
The doctor made me feel like a criminal and my job completely sided with the doc
What’s Reddit’s opinion on this?
