Case Studies Dan is a recent retiree who came to work for the transit system three months ago. He began complaining to other drivers about immense back pain from sitting for long periods of time. Another driver gave Dan medication to help with the pain. He took several not knowing what they were. Dan missed several pick-ups. A regular passenger called and said that Dan was calling passengers by the wrong name. At the end of his shift he stumbled getting out of his vehicle. He was pale and his pupils were pin point. He talked very slowly and spoke so quietly you could hardly hear him. He looked very drowsy. When questioned by management he said he just took something for pain. 24
