Question

I work at a hospital at a check in room for the xray department. We were told today that we are not allowed to have food or drink at our desks per our hospital policy. I am taking medication that requires me to drink plenty of water. If I get a doctors order would I be able to have water at my desk (that I have to sit at for 8 hrs straight with the exception of a 30 lunch)

Answer

Get the doctor to write a letter and then turn it in to the HR department.
