This is where you get HR involved, regardless of whom was at fault in the accident (though especially if it was your boss that was).

maybe time to get a new job?

It's not that easy to the moment to find a new job

Your boss is a dick

don't go in. If he fires you take it to HR

No need to take it to HR (yet) - their boss only ASKED if they could come in to work, not that they had to; OP can say no.

17: The boss shouldn't have asked in the first place knowing OP is in the hospital. No one should be that dense.

Guess he wants an excuse to fire you..

This makes me so mad. I'm sorry your boss is a dick, OP. Hope you're doing okay and recover quickly!

I would bet he is setting you up for a fall. I am not talking just about trying to fire you.

If you were driving on company time your boss is trying to avoid getting hit with Workmen's Comp. and having their insurance go up

Maybe he was just inquiring?

Exactly what I was thinking. My first thought was that OP might have misunderstood and the boss was just asking if OP was physically capable of leaving the hospital and getting back to work without over-stressing themselves.

Damn, get HR to do something about it
