When he had complained about his back the day after moving a transmission, the service manager at the auto dealership sent him to the local hospital emergency room. When the X-rays didn't reveal a medical problem, the attending physician gave the mechanic Tylenol and prescription for [insert name of product] and directed him to take a few days off and to "go back to work on Monday if you feel OK." The mechanic reported what had happened at the emergency room to the service manager.
When Monday came, the worker was still bothered by lower back pain and called the physician who wrote a new prescription and indicated that the employee should take the week off. "Let's see how you're doing by the end of the week," said the doctor.
