Even if you only work 48 hours a month, you stil pay workman's comp. Every employer who has employees has to pay it, so worse case scenerio, if the injury is caused by work, or aggravated by work, you can collect OWCP.
They can't not let you go to the doctor's appointment or take time off of work. If you have to take time off you file for a Family Leave. This protects your job but you won't get paid while on it. If they fire you because of your medical problem then you file an EEO complaint.
You love your job. You don't love your boss. You have to figure out what is more important to you right now, your job or your health. Family leave is a law an available to everyone.
If it were me I would sit down and talk to my boss and point out all of your good points and what an asset you are to the job.
You have shoulder pain, right? Is this from your job? If it is, then you file a CA-2 OWCP claim. If it is a pre-exisiting condition and work has aggravated it, then you file a CA-2 form. If you have an acute injury, it just happened at work then you file a CA-1 form.
If you think that he is going to fire you anyway, and you hurt your neck or shoulder at work, then file. What could it hurt? I know that you went to the emergency room in the last few days, right? Go to him and talk to him. He might have a heart. Show him your medical papers. He does not want you to file a claim. Be gentle with him. Tell him that you love your job. By law they have to accomadate you.
Then, again, if you think for sure that he is going to fire you, file for Family Leave before he does fire you. That covers your bases.
my prayers are with you.
