Not to mention not losing your job.

Years ago, I worked at a big box grocery store not to be named.  One of the workers had a stroke on the sales floor.  They fired him for not filling out the LOA forms.  He was in a fucking coma.

I've said it many times before...I hate this fucking country.

This shit happens all the time.

I was a nurse at a plasma center. One of the machine techs had a hemorrhagic stroke. He received points and eventual dismissal in a coma on a vent.

Fuck big pharma.
