Stop in for a cup of coffee

*****n work... :mob:

I almost choked to death on my first break when eating a granola bar and trying to wash it down with some gatorade.... Had to cough up the gatorade to open my air passage back up and be able to breathe again... I couldn't get the food to go all the way through and could feel it still in the bottom of my throat... I then bought a pop from the machine and tried to wash it through with some pop and choked again... I coughed up the pop and then packed up my things and found the supervisor and told him that I almost just choked and still had some food stuck in the back of my throat, and he told me to go to the medical clinic...

So I go to the clinic and they took some x-rays and didn't find anything conclusive... I got the note from the doctor proving that I was at the clinic during that time and gave it to my supervisor when I returned to work 3 hours later...

Today they call me into the plant manager's office and I have to explain to two managers and the supervisor why I did not punch out when I left to go to the clinic... :wtf:

I said, when I have something still stuck in my throat and not sure if I will be taking my last breath, punching out to go to the clinic is the last thing on my mind.... :realcrazy:

Breathing is more important to me... :icon_fU:



I had to throw it back at them and ask them what another worker said yesterday, "why didn't you drive me or have someone ride with me to make sure that I made it to the clinic safely and not choke again and pass out on the way"... Crickets.... :poke:
