So this post might not fall under what you guys usually post about, I’ll take down if so, but my boss sent me home from work today to get another doctors note, since the one I brought in originally said that I got discharged at 7am, so I technically could have gone in at 11, when my shift started.
I had to go to the hospital on Sunday because I had a really bad nosebleed, to the point where I was starting to lose consciousness. (It got so bad that I couldn’t even use tissue to hold the blood in, because it was such a heavy flow, so I used a bowl to keep the blood from getting everywhere. I started seeing spots at maybe 1/4 of the bowl. Before that, I’d coated my shirt I was wearing that day, and my bath water was pure red after I’d been in there for a few minutes.)
The doctors didn’t do anything to help, but I read that you’re supposed to go to a doctor when that happens, so I thought I was doing the right thing.
After I got discharged, I was still having random bouts of bleeding, mainly when I sneezed or couldn’t control my cough (I think I have a cold or something?) and it would just Pour out of my nose. So I didn’t go in, I texted my boss that I’d be late, but after the visit, I just didn’t go in.
Worse, I had to miss a whole day today because I couldn’t get my car jumped until 5, so I wasted the day waiting to get it working for this note, too, and I’m scared she’s going to be mad at me for that, too.
What’s making me nervous is that she wants a more detailed note, I think? And the second note I got is even less detailed than the last one, and doesn’t talk about me blacking out. She made me feel like I was just skipping work, and like I’m lazy, when I’m not, and I don’t know how to fix the problem of the note. I don’t think I’ll get fired, but I don’t know for sure.
Also, unrelated, but I was literally working a double shift before I had my nosebleed, while I was sick. I don’t know, it just made me really mad, and also scared because I don’t know how I could give her something that would satisfy her when the first note wasn’t enough.
Also also, she told me that I had to come in with a covid test, too “per company policy” but she told my coworker the exact opposite. I guess I’m just confused- why would she add another thing to my list of stuff I have to bring, if she didn’t really have to?
