If someone’s injured on the railroad, they should call their own doctor. If it’s an emergency situation go to a hospital emergency room of your choosing. And then after that seek medical attention from your own doctor, and if you want or need to see specialists, your doctor can prescribe them. One thing to know, many railroads will ask employees to sign total release forms giving railroad people access to your doctors when you’re not there. Don’t’ sign those. You don’t have to. Get legal advice and find out what you have to sign and what you don’t have to sign. Because if you sign a general waiver of your medical privilege they can call your doctors and talk to your doctors privately and you won’t know what they say to the doctors, which may or may not be misleading.
