Some fucking bullshit
    #5614071 - 05/10/06 06:24 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I am an ex-IV drug user. I have some scars on my arms that are light, but still visible from when I was injecting drugs.

I recently got a job that was essentially my dream job. It was a research position paying good money at a major hospital in the Boston area.

I had to go for an employee physical. The nurse noticed some of the scars and reported to HR that I had what appeared to be scars that result from IV drug use, albeit old, but visible.

I was fired on the spot when I admitted that they were in fact, old marks, even though I am now in recovery, go to NA meetings and counselling.

Fucking bullshit.

I don't think they can do that. They would have to give you drug tests first. I think that falls in the discrimination category. You've got some weight with them. Talk to your lawyer and have them contact the job.

Well I'd still talk to someone knowledgeable about it.  Sure it's generally wrong, but it may also be legally wrong, which would help you get your job back.  If none of that works, write your employer a letter asking for the job back under the condition of periodic drug tests, or something that could make them feel good about having someone who "was and possibly still is a drug user" working for them, and it would put their grief about the latter to rest. :wink:
