I loved reading this thread and I'm so happy that you got to retire on your date with an extra 60 weeks pay ! That is what a call a win-win (you won TWICE !).

I wish you a happy retirement and I look forward to reading about your "get a life" adventures

Not sure about CA, but in most areas such medical leave is deducted from your accrued vacation time. Not a free lunch to be sure.
I agree that it can be abused or over diagnosed, but in general I think health problems due to workplace stress (and for most people it keeps getting worse) are not given their due. It's like we have to wait until there is a serious problem that has already manifested before anyone will do anything about it. Until then, keep slaving away; the floggings will continue until morale improves.
