Please refer to the 3rd Jette Post Entry made on Monday @ 12:12 pm on May 3, 2010:
"8 hrs on my feet on the yellow line outside the Cheshire fair grounds was not the best
thing I could have done. Chewing Ibuprofin like skittles because my hip is gonna fall
off!"
Nate Jette was in an Off Duty Car Accident a few years ago and broke his hip. It seems now it's bothering him.
With ALL the EXTRA DETAILS that Jette has done wearing out his hip, who's to say that
he's not going to injure himself or somebody else because he can't move quick enough
or because he didn't take his medicine that day, whatever that medicine might be?
Who is going to be the one picking up the liability? Winchester? Richmond? Swanzey? Keene?
If he's not fit enough, by HIS own ADMISSION to do details without announcing to
the world that his hip is going to "fall off" because he's been on it too long, maybe the
Town ought to consider he not be allowed to do these details or work for that matter until
he's been thoroughly checked by a doctor of the Town's choosing and cleared fit for "ALL" duty.
Some clearance that he is able to stand for long periods of time, to ensure he isn't going
to be more of a liability to himself or worse yet somebody else, seems to be warranted to ensure all are protected.
The Town Father's have now been apprised of yet another instance of concern for the Town taxpayers and the public at large.
Standing for long periods of time is one of the many requirements to be deemed "Fit For Duty" for a police officer employed by the Town of Winchester. If there were a major accident on Route 10 for instance, during Nate Jette's shift, he may have to stand on his feet for hours directing traffic. He needs to be "fit" to do that in the event something like that becomes real.
If he were to get injured on the job because of his hip injury and the fact that he overworked his hip by doing all of these out of town details, who would have to pick up the worker's comp?
Do the Attorneys handling the settlement of the car accident know about all these problems he has while working the numerous additional hours every week?
It seems he hasn't lost his ability to earn extra money with all the extra details and overtime he works, yet he complains.
What's the real deal with Nate Jette?
