NYC Construction Worker with Crohn's Disease

Updated: Jun 11, 2022

"I have had multiple accidents, but the worst one was working for a building on an "occupied floor". You needed a scan code to open the doors in the hallway, so we propped them open to be able to use the bathroom- cause once we were in there we were essentially trapped. At some point the company was notified about the door being cracked open and had them shut.


There was a hallway we were working where we could access the elevators. There were 3 bathrooms along the span of that hallway. Once I felt the desperation to go, I tried them all, but they were locked/key pad entry whatever. So as it starts I do the only thing I can think of duck into the staircase and tried to keep much from getting in my pants as possible, but at that point it was about 60% done. I had to go get cleaning supplies and do the best I could, call my manager, and leave the building. He fortunately paid me but it was utterly humiliating.


I threw my jeans out in the Penn station bathroom and the only pants I could find were flying cabs with I <3 NY on them. They were clearly women's. Now I'm a 6'1 200 lb construction worker wearing these way too tight pajama pants. It was totally and utterly humiliating. I will never forget that day."

Man, I can't imagine going through that—thanks for sharing your story. It's brutal enough dealing with Crohn's without the added stress of work emergencies. Something that's helped me manage the health insurance side of things is using the Availity customer service number when I need to sort out coverage questions or find a specialist quickly—it saves me from endless phone trees when I'm already stressed. Hope you're having better days on the job now.
