This goes to show ya... don't lie at work.

One of the coworkers on her list to "let them know I had to leave"  was at lunch when this occurred and when she got back and read the email about this fellow coworker needing to go to the ER, she was confused.

She was in the drive-thru at Taco Bell and this coworker was in the car ahead of her.  Apparently she needed a burrito and some nachos before going to the ER!

Her supervisor has been informed.   Tomorrow should be an interesting day.  I

bet she calls out sick.

@Black Cat Back  I thought about saying something about not telling the truth after what you mentioned about her, but decided not to.

Maybe she was so hungry and we all know how long it usually takes to see a Doctor lol.

Does she know the other employee saw her?

@Black Cat Back  if she realizes that the other employee saw her, I bet she went to the ER after getting her food and will have a note.

My husband has driven himself to the ER more than once. Ambulances are very expensive. We are 5 minutes from the closest hospital & it costs $500 on our insurance for an ambulance.

She asked that some people be informed, and they were. The logistics of it, and her decision, is no one's business.

 I think the supervisor handled it well by asking then accepting her decision.  I've been to the ER several times and always drove myself with nobody with me.  Not all ER visits are for life-threatening conditions.  It's up to the individual to decide what level of care is needed.  8f shed called her doctor and said she needed to be seen immediately, they undoubtedly would have referred her to the ER or urgent care.

The supervisor asked her if she wanted to be driven to the ER.  She said no.  There is nothing that he could have done to stop her from going alone.  He would have gotten in trouble if he had tried to stop her.  He did nothing wrong.

@Black Cat Back  I completely agree with you. I know if that happened in my organization my boss would not have allowed the employee to drive themselves.

@Black Cat Back..Interesting about your coworker. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the HR office.

Will do!    Should be a rather interesting day.

Depending on what's wrong, she might not be back at work for a few days. 🌸

I think it's between her and her supervisor and people spend too much time minding other people's business.

It is totally her call, even if 911 was called and an ambulance arrived on site she has the right to reject medical attention and reject going by ambulance.
