One of the myths of contemporary mythology is the post-1990 democratization of Eastern Europe.
Human rights are routinely violated in Poland using communist tools, such as "occupational health services" in Poland.
The
current Polish labor code was introduced under the communist
dictatorship in 1974. Although it has been modified somewhat over the
years, it is essentially the same framework as in 1974. Specifically,
there is an obligation for the employee to undergo a medical
examination before returning to work after a medical leave exceeding
30 days.
The
occupational medical service has little to do with real protection of
health. It is a repressive measure which can be easily used to punish
anyone for purely political reasons by issuing a false health report,
thus preventing a person to return to his/her job. Occupational
medical service is an entirely separate branch of medicine in Poland,
independent of regular physicians and hospitals. Their medical
"examinations" are conducted regardless of decisions and
expertise of the regular medical service. For example, you may be
declared perfectly fit for work by the hospital or the primary care
physician, and simultaneously you may be declared unfit for work by
the occupational medicine.
On
Dec. 15, 2015 the regional occupational medical center in Zielona Gora in
western Poland issued a document banning my wife's return to work.
The document is a total falsification of reality. It is a total
fraud.
My
wife is a great pianist and an excellent piano teacher. Teaching piano is her passion. Her students earned many prizes in
national and international competitions.
Our family is persecuted for
political reasons.
