Nobody in that NBC news story said anything about drugs.
I reject your "drugs" claim because you have not given any evidence to support that claim.

I love the way people jump to the worst conclusion immediately. What is it that makes that so cool?

As I said on the other thread, this reminds me of the Tom Eagleton brouhaha. Silly me for thinking we were a little more enlightened these days.

I always thought medical history is a confidential issue,,,that a doctors confirmation of the need for time off is legally binding,,,,

??
Nope,if you work for someone,and you get sick,you have to explain why you're absent from your Job!
.
He is a Public Figure,and The People are his Employers.


if I just say 'im sick', that suffices actually.


I have never been required to give more than an 'im not feeling well' or 'im going into a hospital, doctor,,,etc,,)




Not to qualify for FMLA it doesn't. You have to fill out a bunch of paperwork for both your employer and the Government and so does your doctor.



well, Im sure congressmen are aware of what THEIR proper procedure is. Im equally confident Jackson will follow whatever is the written policy on the matter.


Just because they know their procedure doesn't mean they will follow it. laugh
