Years ago, when I was working for New York State, I had been out on Workman's Comp, and had been cleared to return to full duty by my doctor. The Deputy Superintendent for Administration (an appointed position), decided she would refuse to let me go back full duty, and never bothered to explain why, other than the fact that she was a bitch. She ordered me to use my own sick time as well. She eventually allowed me to go back to work full duty, but I had already filed a grievance with the Union. My primary claim was that she wasn't a doctor, and had no authority to assess my physical condition as to when I could, or couldn't return to work. I asked for reimbursement of the time I was forced to use. The case eventually went to the Labor Relations Board, and the Judge found in my favor. I didn't get the sick days back, but I did get reimbursed the money equivalent to the number of sick days I was forced to use. As in that case, Joe Biden doesn't have the legal or medical authority to assess anyone's medical condition, let alone order any type of medical procedure on anyone in this country.

Back in 1980 when I took the job with NY State Corrections, the officers were required to dispense psychotropic drugs each night while we went down the prison galleries to do the evening count. These were drugs like Lithium, Haldal, Sinequan, etc. They were in liquid form, and we dispensed them via eyedropper. That went on for at least 2 years while I was there. The Union filed a grievance about it, stating that because we weren't medical professionals, the State had no business ordering us to dispense drugs to anyone. The procedure was stopped, and the State had to hire more medical staff to take care of the dispensing of drugs 24 hours a day.

Excellent post—I think you are on the right track—There are a lot of issues to be litigated here.
