Personal gripe section-I was called in for medical on 2/23/24. And placed on medical hold for a sleep apnea study because I met the criteria. Apparently the criteria is that I answered that I've snored in the past 5 years. I know I don't have sleep apnea, the MTA doctor is telling me I don't have sleep apnea. But that doesn't matter I have to be put on medical hold. I scheduled, took the sleep study, and got my results back all within 11 days (surprise no sleep apnea). Still not enough time to make the last class they had available on 3/5/24. Wild that their own doctor isn't enough to overrule me needing to be put on medical hold. Now I'm left in limbo to wait and see IF there's another class at some point. Missed out on a job because of bullshit basically. No one knows how to waste your time like the city
Information section-I spoke to employment operations this morning of 3/12/24. I was told there are currently no more classes scheduled, they are turning over the list back to the city, and to email DCAS in a weeks time to have my name restored to the list. Also that upon restoration any medical records they had would be void, drug/medical, so it would currently be a waste of my time to bring in paperwork to get cleared of the medical hold. So for anyone currently on medical hold, hold on to any paperwork and emails related to it. You may need to be cleared a second time, go through drug and medical additional times as well. Hope this helps someone
