In Europe, it is mandatory to see a doctor to evaluate your health. I was very lucky as i was operated by a doctor in another country they never tried to contrast the information my LL doctor give them. I am thankful that the "lied" on the medical repport. So no, it is no discriminatory. Indeed, everybody must see a doctor every year to evaluate you.

Even for an office/desk job? I have never heard of this. It sounds like a major breach of privacy. So each employee submits to a medical exam every year and the company HR gets to see it?

Do you mind sending me a link to this process please?

Every type of job. But you keep your privacity. If it is your wish, your job cannot be informed of any medical record of its employees.
That's how it works: the doctor establishes a document that determines if you are fit to work, or not after examining you. In my case, I saw the doctor a few weeks ago and determined that I was temporarily unfit to work. He determined that I had to work from home for a few weeks. So the job is obliged to accept the conditions set by the doctor. If the doctor had determined that I am permanently unfit, my job would have had the obligation to adapt my job, or to find me new functions that I am capable of performing given my disability.

When the doctor examined me, I gave him the report that my surgeon had written. In it the surgeon had indicated that he had performed an operation to correct the femur. Without more great detail. As a doctor, he did not attempt to establish whether this was true or not. The doctor simply saw that I was not able to walk without crutches and chose what was the best situation for me.  In my case, working from home until I can walk again without crutches. The doctor did not ask me X-ray or any medical exam. Of course, my company only knows my version. I told them I had an accident. It's a medical secret.
Actually, if you think about it, this is done to protect the worker.

Here you have some information for france. But it is more or less the same for each country of europe.

LittleMember if your local doc had found out you did cosmetic LL would you have been fired for not being able to work?

Or does it not matter whether you are unfit to work because you did cosmetic LL or had a fracture

Are these people soft or are they regular who just had a bad experience?

LL is very hard and painful and for many, if they don't technically abandon, they stop short of their objective (usually 8cm with Precise nails... people will go to 7 or whatnot)

Mmmm i don't think so. Legally the fonctions of such doctor are very framed by the law. He or She has not the right to give for example an advice to a medical recovery. For example, he/she cannot say u must do that to recover from your leg. Just he/she can say u can or cannot do your functions at your job. Nothing more. For sure i am not gonna be the one who is gonna be honest and say that it was not a deformation, and that indeed was a cosmetic operation, but i am pretty sure the doctor cannot say any information to your job.

Once you go through the process of LL you'll understand even completing 1cm is extremely difficult and can be considered a gargantuan task. Truly, only go through this process if you really really really want it and are pretty much okay with being disabled for 4-5 months.

Totally agree... The first cms are ok, from 4cm ahead i had the feeling it was really really hard.
Omg 4-5 months diseable... Im depressed when i see i am just 2 months from being disabled during a full year...  And still i cannot walk without crutches... With which kind of nail you are just disabled for just 5-6 months? I suppose this people are not lengthening 8.5cm like me...

Agree with this, although as someone going through LL right now, the pain of the process and the temporary inconvenience of disability is nothing compared to the profound emotional pain and shame of height neurosis.
