Angela	I really don't encourage lying to your boss - you will eventually get caught no matter how careful you are! However, I wouldn't break your bone just to get out of a lie. Because of HIPPA, your employer cannot demand to see the xray. All he can demand is a doctor's note saying that you are unable to work. He is allowed to call and verify with the doctor's office that they did write the note and that you are unable to work, but he is not allowed to get any information other than that. Tell him tha because of HIPPA, you're running into problems with getting the xray, and you can't show it to him. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ndimakukonda	You lazy, work shy little so and so! Get off your butt and go to work! Failing that, try slamming it in a car door REALLY hard, get a mate to help you. P.S. Hospitals don't tend to give out X-Rays as they need to keep them on file incase of complications/people suing them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sexy Red	Well i cant undersatand why you want to fracture your arm,why not something else ? You will regret doing this,your fracture may not be a slight fracture if you try anything,you may need to have surgery and may have on going problems if the fracture is very displaced.You will be in a plaster cast up to 8 wks depending on the fracture,you will be very restricted what you can and cant do,bathing,driving,etc.So think about it first before you do something you will regret.

rondavous	Your manager has no right to request to see the X-ray, but your clearly have been a sh*t liar. Say you will request a copy from the hospital and then just keep on blagging it.

clairelouise	THe best thing to do is to develop RSI (repetitive strain injury). It doesnt show up on any scans or xrays, but the only cure is to rest it (and therefore take time off work). I guenuinely have RSI, and it can come in handy at times!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Georgie's Girl	come round... i'll do it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
