(15 posts)Last year my husband was attacked by a rottwieler, very very close to his private area...left two huge bite marks by his groin,
This is what they did for my husband when I speak of they I speak of the post office:
Husband: I have been bitten by a dog
Postal office: Is it bad?
Husband: I am bleeding and blood is going down my pants, I cannot see the severity in it just yet, but I am hurting very bad
Postal office: Can you finish your route then get to the hospital?
Husband: called me both of us stunned by their comment
Husband response: Look I will see what I can do but I am hurting
Postal Office: ok get back with us then when you get done
Me (One hour later he calls back and says look there is blood going all down my pants please send someone out here)
Postal office: upset not at that one of their carriers were bitten but one they had to find someone to cover his route
Me: Unfortunately only having one vehicle, he comes home I being a nurse look at his leg and know he has to be taken to the hospital
Hospital: why didn't you come sooner:
Husband ostal office wanted me to finish up the route
Me:Now for some compensation and action against the person who open there door to let the dog out
Postal office: Ok we will take care of everything on the legal end
Me(4 months later)
Postal office: Ok we did not find any need for you to get any compensation..so we will not award any thank you
Me and my husband: laughing in astonishment
Hospital:put my husband on pain and antibiotics for the infection and pain..then was given a shot
Police officer: was stunned by the severity of the bite and took photos of it as well
Me: so trying to make a long story as short as I can, my husband did not get any compensation he was given a day off of work and told to report back the next following day, And as of today he lives with a bite mark on his leg just a reminder not so much of the dog bite but of how the Postal office really treat their carriers.
Back in the day, they would of been all over that person and made sure my husband was fine, now its all about the dollar..
I thank you all for your wonderful comments I will try to read them all today.
God Bless each and everyone of you
