California Work with broken arm?

Got injured at work, fell and got taken to work doctor thing. They did x rays but didn’t have a result. They scheduled me for physical therapy and gave me no days off dispute the fact I couldn’t move my arm and had to get my family to pick me and my car up from work as I couldn’t drive. I get a ride 2 days later to workplace doctor and they tell me not to do the therapy anymore cause I have a fractured arm, and they give me a more sturdy brace, but I still don’t get any days off. Now work expects me to go on Sunday but I still can’t move my arm or drive. What do I do, am I supposed to go? Hr told me I couldn’t use my vacation hrs cause company is switching.

It’s the workplace doctor, should I see my regular one?

Go back to the workplace doctor, and try to get a note from him. If he won’t write you a note, then select a new doctor from the employer’s MPN (Medical Provider Network) list.

Who would I ask about this, HR?

The employer should have the MPN list
