Medical Proof. The Fire Chief may require the member to furnish medical proof or submit to medical examination by the City at its expense to determine the degree of impairment or disability, the probable duration of incapacity or disability and whether a subsequent injury is a new and separate injury or an aggravation of a former injury received while in City service. Certification of the member’s physical ability to return to work may also be required. Any injury which requires a doctor’s certificate will also require written permission from the doctor for a member on injury leave to participate in any activity which might aggravate or extend the injury leave. Participation in any sport or strenuous activity while on injury leave without the written permission of a doctor may subject the member to disciplinary action.
