Can your job be threatened because of complaints made on the health care provider you work for?


My son uses the health care facility where I work. He is disabled and authorized me to act as his advocate. The health care provided has be less than adequate. The specific clinic's manager, where he is seen, has told someone she is after MY job. Apparently, my persistence has uncovered some specific problems with that clinic. They no longer will adhere to the plan of care or return his phone calls. I was told by my supervisor it would be best to remove him from their care. He does not want to change providers and start over. He is on Medicaid and has limited provider where we live. Those are not taking new patients. He is only waiting on a referral to a specialty clinic. Medical negligence is involved in this case as well. I was advised not to cause problems.

It sounds like discrimination no matter how you describe it or what they advise you to do or not to do. I would contact your local disabilities office and report the discrimination... they would then be able to give you the best advice on how to proceed.
