Filed worker's comp for injury while sleeping on the job

[JEDI]

i fell asleep at my desk.
woke up with a kink in my neck that wouldnt go away.
got approved for physical therapy/massages.

downside: Worker's comp only pays ~$300/week for me to stay home and recover

edit:
hm.. might be $300/day???

I think you read the fine print wrong, happy ending massages cost you $300/day, or so I am told.

WORKERS'

It's possessive plural not possessive singular.

Lol nice. I wonder if they would approve something like that where I work. Everyone has ended up snoozing at one point or the other. It's kind of a fact of the job haha.

I wonder if RN's can fall asleep on the job and still make money. :hmm:

I'd imagine you could get away with it on night shift. Just make sure you can hear the bell or w/e if a patient hits the help button. Though I guess there might be routine stuff that needs to be done too, but most of that probably happens in the day.


There is something eerie about being in a hospital at night though. Normally when you go to a hospital you are used to seeing people, nurses etc around, but at night when it's closed to the public, it's mostly dark and there's no activity. It's even more interesting during a power outage when half the hospital is on generator and the other half is off. (staggered throughout the building not literally half). Something about the empty halls and flickering lights and only some of them being on. That's the night I found out the core network was not plugged into a UPS.

Sure, but if you're caught you could lose your license. Do your 18 hour shift wide awake, like a real American!
