Nerve Regeneration For The Future

The carnage evident in disasters like car wrecks or wartime battles is oftentimes mirrored within the bodies of the people involved. A severe wound can leave blood vessels and nerves severed, bones broken, and cellular wreckage strewn throughout the body – a debris field within the body itself. It’s scenes like this that neurosurgeon Jason Huang, M.D., confronts every day. Severe damage to nerves is one of the most challenging wounds to treat for Huang and colleagues…

Is it possible for my dad’s employer to terminate him during his colon cancer treatment still in process?

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:26:33 +0000

Question by clueless: Is it possible for my dad’s employer to terminate him during his colon cancer treatment still in process?
my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer around 9/2009 and was told to go on leave ASAP for treatments such as IV chemo and radiation. After the treatments he had an operation to remove the cancer around 02/2010 and the surgeon had attached a temporary colostomy. A few weeks after he was back to chemo pills for weeks. he has been very weak throughout his treatments and can barely walk. Around 09/2010, he had his 2nd operation to remove the colostomy. He had an open wound. I change his dressing twice a day. I’m still changing his dressing til now. He has been updating work with everything paperworks he comes up with from his surgeon or when HR needed information. Last week, he receives a letter from work stating that he had already exhausted all of his options and that they can no longer accomodate him. My dad had told me that from what the letter says, they want him back to work in 2weeks or they’re going to have to terminate him at the date of the letter. He had called HR, he was told that someone from HR will give him a call today but never did. Is that possible? Is that fair?
He’s on disability at this time and was asked to recertify so it’s pending. He’s also in process of apply for LTD as well as Social Security. Everything is pending at this time. I’m not quite sure yet if my dad still has PTO with the company, would it matter?
