When I was put on Disability I was currently employed but running out of my short term disability. My pdoc simply asked me if I wanted to go back to work and the next thing I knew I was receiving Disability. The Medicare says it could be terminated if I do go back to work. And my diagnosis was at the time PTSD. The pdoc is crooked though. And that is true. He is under investigation right now. I no longer see him but my anxiety and depression have gotten worse since I've stayed home. I wouldn't advise it if it were me as I'm a Registered Nurse and now they want me to go back to school to work again. And I'm 59 and my back can't handle the strain of med surg which they require. And they also require full time and I wanted parttime in psych again. The system is very strange as the nursing board said it's a catch 22. Fondly, Phillipa
