Where Do I Start? (Missouri)

[jdarling]

I'm a hotel housekeeper in Missouri, and I believe I've torn my left rotator cuff. What do I do first? Go to the ER? Call a number?

I've already informed my immediate supervisor and was instructed to write out a statement, which I did.

What's my next step? Any help would be great.

if you are in pain go to the ER

the employer has the right to select your treating physician. check with the employer as to who they want you to get treatment from.

Thanks so much. All they're wanting to do at this point is have me write down every day how the pain is doing and what kind of work I was able to do that day. I don't know what kind of good that's going to do. But what do I know?

you know where the rules are and you know where to get help.
