Can Job Stress, Harassment, discrimination make you sick?

All of the above in the title can make you sick, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I can bare witness to this. In the last few years of my career it has not been fun, leaning experience, the lose of the waking up and can not wait to get to work. No matter  how you look at it. There is always some bully there or more than one waiting to see what can they do today. How can they get under you skin, or what can they write you up for today. Bags form under eyes due to lack of sleep, improper nutrition, etc. Lack of exercise loss of muscle tone, loss of weight and low energy levels. When you take  a person that for years could work two jobs, do a 16 hr shift and get up and do again, without breaking a sweat. And, now it is like draining the life out to go in and do 9 hours. Migraines more frequent, more intense, and lasts longer. Medicines that use to work on them do not any more. Loss of hair , eyelashes, trouble concentrating, remembering things, and affects your job as well as home life. You take all of this in to consideration. You take only part of this not in detail to you higher supervisor or type up a letter of any and all you observe going on in your work place that is unjust and unfair to all in it. That affects their job, that gets done and said in front of other employees and patients in a belittle manner. You explain, I feel it is starting to affect my job performance, I know my body is run down due to the stress, you catch almost every bug that comes through the office.You express your concern, and how you need to improve you work, to finish up on things, and what is in the way of this happening. Increasing your productivity to your supervisor. Does she get back to you, thank  you for bringing all this to her attention. No, in the end it is r discussed, mentioned. You ultimately get the letter of termination. Still nothing mentioned about your concerns of your position or any other employee that you saw get treated the same way or worse. You had even asked this supervisor once when you gave her all this information, as she read and seen that the president of the companies name was also up there with hers. She stands up and stresses out to you at no time are you to ever go to him, you only come to her. She will promise to come more often to the office, work on things, compliments you, praises you, encourages you, etc. Only to turn around and do the unthinkable. So, what do you do? Do you still in turn tell the next boss if your job gets to this point? Express what is going on how it can be fixed, how you can improve etc.? From my experience and what I have seen no you are better off lying about it and looking for a new job.What do you think?

Wrongful write ups, lies, etc.

What to do when you are in a situation where you are called into a office end of the day, by your supervisor granted this person just told you about three weeks ago you were not who they thought they hired, not a leader, etc. But no definition given as to what she was referring to, what you needed to change nothing. Well upon being called in to this office, with her and the deputy director. Where you were sitting, the sun was shinning in your eyes, anyone with sight could have seen this, they did not offer to close blinds. Move your seat, etc. As this meeting starts this is like the fourth time the DD has said to you and how he starts all conversations with you "You are so smart, you know better, etc." So, demeaning. Then of course this supervisor hands you some paper, knowing and seeing you can not read it, and are at the point of tears. She purposely leaves out the first thing on this paper. You half way sign this paper and made it understood you do not agree with what is on it but just sign rather saying yes you got the message. Upon this you should have gotten a copy. But, after this meeting your still upset, end of day, tearful and of course just want to go home for the day. You are told no no wait. We wanted to call the med tech in, we need to meet with both of you. Can't you basically dry it up long enough for this? Seriously,  no the person can't just dry it up for a meeting that can wait. Upon them calling this person in (med tech) the person tries there best to stop the tears. But, not done Med tech comes to door only at that time is she offered a box of tissues. She uses them, as the med tech is told to come in the office. She is looking at the nurse like what is wrong ?what is going on? The nurse holds head down, the supervisor quickly takes the write ups turns both copies over and slides to other side of the desk. Not one given to the nurse as should have been. The nurse, listens to them go on and on about putting the med tech back to work with you and your provider, for sole purpose of they are going to be cracking down on him due to patient numbers. Even though his schedule is full everyday, sees patients ten min apart, 98 percent of his patients show up everyday. The numbers they refer to are labs, mammograms, paps, Well can't make patients do these things can you? Figured out later the ones who had hysterectomy were still showing up as needing a pap, no one had taken them out which makes the numbers even higher on the charts. Med tech told basically to help keep eye on the doctor, his numbers, ordering the labs, etc. Previously the one nurse had been with the one provider as the other providers have one nurse. But, this provider is a MD, the others are PA, FNP. They see half his patient numbers everyday. The med tech agrees, as does the nurse shaking head not answering. Due to the nurse knows what they are trying to do. Set the doctor up for failure. Trying to get rid of him as well. They say he has no control on his schedule. We are to put people on there no matter what he says. Question was asked if you have a employee in any position that someone has to push them , drive them constantly, why do you have them? Esp a MD that went to school 8 to 9 years? Answer was yeah your right. Nurse states I have enough to try and do daily, calls, tests, etc. teaching, getting people in for mammograms, paps, Diabetic missed test, and reschedule appointments missed. But, still was told that was new thing added to your daily job. Go through his labs, stay on him to fill out forms, do forms, etc. Then take forms, scan them fax them into charts. Call the patients and tell them was done, was ready. The med tech again looks at the nurse are you ok, you sure you ok? Nurse asks are you done? I am ready to go now I need to go. It was past time to go home. No patients got called, no labs were done, no appointments made, no authorizations given for meds or tests patients needed. Due to that is about the only time you have to do those things when you are done seeing patients, or before lunch. Lately they have almost every lunch day filled with in office meeting of some kind. So , you are left with after work. Then that is taken due to pity, bogus issues. You are told your write up was for checking in a friend of your daughters, taking their vital signs, medical history, nurse assessment which is asking questions about social history of the person. The nurse had prior to this appointment called the FNP to ask if still could put on schedule no one answered phone, nurse goes to the FNP, med tech sitting at the phone ignoring it. Prior to walking over there you block that one spot the last one on there for that day. Patient wanted be seen day before was told no, to call the next day at 8am and make appt. Patient did call 8am and was told it would be a month and half before could be seen due to was new patient appt needed be twenty min. long. Wrong can not do this. Patient was already told could be seen if called. So yes, block added to long enough to confirm with the FNP she stated yes put him on their I will see him. Nurse puts patient on sched. Asks the med tech that is working with the FNP to check him in, she states no he is new will take longer. You go ahead and do this due to she is only other one there. Then you get wrote up without being ask questions, and when you try to explain the events how it happened, and that well six other staff members put blocks on the schedule everyday using their names, Providers have seen it and commented on this and ask "what are they going to be seen today by me?" No they were not going to be seen they were holding it for someone. Or to keep it held to have time to catch up. They could do this but this one nurse could not, med tech, nurse 2, and front desk help, up stairs that gets calls, makes appts, is basically their job. They do it and had since the nurse went to work their. But her supervisor cut her off as she started to say this to the Deputy Director stated " They have nothing to do with this" Yes, it does, they have everything. Funny how a triage nurse can work upstairs no association with patients coming in to be seen. She looks at the schedule who is on it for that day sees her baby daddy , after he arrives is checked into room she comes asks," Is he in this room, I need go in?" Isn't this Hippa violation ? According to this office no it is not. But you check in a person you know from church you grew up with, or your daughter boyfriend, or friend that you do not know any and all about. You have done a  hippa violation. Nurse tells them this is not a Hippa violation, they proclaim yes it is. They even have a person that works for same company come do a meeting nothing again is said of this in that meeting. Upon, a day after this write up and meeting. The nurse emails the DD asking for the copy of the write up, he messages back "What you did not get it" NO, the nurse did not get it, the nurse messages the Supervisor as well, no answer back at all. That was over a month ago. When does the nurse get the copy? After, termination is when was given to the nurse. Nurse also had ask for a copy of some verbal warning same thing checking in someone they knew. Kind of hard when that nurse is suppose to work only with that provider. You say all are to help out, do what other providers need. But , you write the same nurse up for the day they helped out checked in daughters bf, due to med tech refusal. Why make a patient wait? Is it fair to the person due to the laziness of the med tech? NO it is not fair. But on that write up it is added the nurse was not assigned to that provider that day, was not working with the provider that day, and that nurses provider was off that day. How How can this be done to that nurse/???? You tell that nurse on their providers day off, you are to not only use that time to try play catch up, but you are to stop at anytime and help the other nurses, do what other provider's ask but then you write the nurse up for doing exact what you said to do???? When the other nurses providers were off they rarely helped that nurse. Only once due to the DD himself asking did they help you, have they offered, have they been over there today? NO to all questions, and well that is ok states the nurse. I can handle it I do it every other day, And I try to let them get caught up when their provider is off regardless that they don't let me get caught up. The DD goes to the med tech tells her to go help. There was nothing to do at that point, she comes over with attitude, what what if you needed help why didn't you ask, why didn't you call and ask for it. You know you got to ask no one gonna look at schedule all day.Advised this med tech by the nurse for one, don't talk that way until you know what was said by whom. Advised by nurse she did not ask, need or want the help had it under control, Advised as well the DD took upon him self to tell her to come help do something. Med tech shuts up stands their to appear like she is doing something then leaves not to come back the rest of the day nor call and see if all ok. The next day after this med tech was told in that meeting that she would be with that provider and that nurse from then on . The nurse because of stuff like this a person who worked in the office which would be a acquaintance due to seeing and talking to this person every day ,knowing them on a personal level . The nurse asks the med tech to check the patient in, she as well knows the lab person better than the nurse. But , med tech checks her in, updates information, does vitals, etc. The nurse then thanks the med tech for doing so, the med tech snaps at the nurse what what you act like I am not part of this team, I am part of this team, etc. Had to stop her again only after the mouthy damage is done. But to explain the comment was genuine and why it was said. She then goes oh oh. ok. To late then the patient  and the other nurse, and provider you said that in front of have walked off now. So, what does the nurse look and feel like.? How can a employer hold a write up, how can they put something on there that did not happen, was not brought proof of happening? How can they write you up for the same above you have seen? How can the med tech do all the same things the nurse has, and this is where the nurse learned the office procedures from and was told by supervisor to go ask med tech on how to do this and that. When the nurse has complained they need the day that provider is off to get extra things done for their patients, stock rooms, etc. They are the only nurse told no no you have to put that aside the patients in the office they come first no matter what. Even though it would be three nurses to two providers on  the other side. And, they still see half what the MD does that , that one nurse does all by her self everyday. They the three can't handle 10 to 16 patients between the three of them. How can the nurse be written up for the other provider asking her to check someone in? How come the med tech was not accused of violation of HIPPA due to checking in the lab personal? It is not a Hippa issue it is only a ethical concern the nurse found out, by the state board of nursing. There is no information that was given our, shared, leaked. Nothing. They tried and did intimidate, scare, humiliate the nurse in everyway possible. They not once called in the provider the nurse worked for and asks how her performance was? NOT once, they only tell the provider after the nurse is terminated oh by the way your nurse won't be back due to violations etc. How can a nurse protect them selves. This nurse upon being called in that day for a meeting with the DD, head supervisor, supervisor, and a HR person, had asked on the phone do I need to bring in my attorney? The HR personal states well if you want but I don't see any need. Then after ten min, or so the HR person calls back no no, you can bring them but they can not come into the meeting. NO, and well we won't have anyone there. At this point the Nurse knows what is going to take place. Due to asking no lawyer be brought in to meeting. How can they tell you ,  you can't bring in a lawyer to defend the false allegations, and not giving a single copy of such write ups until termination time. From end of March to the third of this month. The nurse had nothing to review nothing to go on, upon asking several time for that paper. Does the nurse feel discrimination? harassment? unfair treatment, belittled ? yes they do feel and know all of this is that. How to defend yourself against this and from happening again. One learn the laws around this, have them handy, when you feel that employer is going that way with it, even after you ask look do you want that person to quit and make it easier? person told no no don't want that only to within one week do that exact thing. Why, so they could try best to make you look worse, Knowing all above had already long ago happened and been addressed , but you again insist on mentioning again and dismissing them.
