(254 posts)...I too can no longer work (as a federal employee teacher on the reservation) due to illnesses so I retired and didn't even bother to apply for workers comp because it wouldn't get approved as it would be very difficult to claim it was work related. Try teaching in the middle of no where, where the kids can barely read nor write (sorry, I taught high school geology and astronomy), as a white person being denied even the basic of healthcare, i.e. a flu shot because I'm white, having to drive 120 miles one way to get seen by a doctor, constant sand storms (like in 3rd world middle east countries), etc. And, tell me that stress this causes along with acquiring carpal tunnel (had to have surgery) and small fiber peripheral neuropathy in both feet (no cure), that these conditions were NOT the result of working in such a hell hole for 7 years.
