I requested a note from Dr. Hess and asked them just to write that I was

having " major abdominal surgery " and about how long I would need to be off

work. I had told my immediate supervisor (department chair) that I needed to

be off for " gallbladder removal and some other things " . I got the note from

Dr. Hess to turn in to the personnel office so that I wouldn't even have to

speak to them face to face. I know they would want to show concern by asking

if I was o.k., etc., etc., and this way I never had to talk to them.

What should I do?

What would you do? >>

I would just let it be, let it go. The stress of trying to get all this done

would make my life more difficult than the few days I'll have to be under

possibly less than compasionate care. And the heavier patient would need the

bariatric bed the most. I'd be sleeping for two of those days anyway. Just

what I would do, not necessarily anyone else.
