A member asked:

Doctors, can my employer refuse to let me work while i am on a blood thinner?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Legal question: That's a good question for a lawyer. As a doctor, I can imagine a good pro and con answer. Certainly if your work doesn't involve anything physically challenging or potentially dangerous, there would be NO reason to deny your right to work.
