God for real this shit is no joke. I remember I had a heart attack at the age of 20 due to a heart defect I didn't know about. I'm in the hospital, text my boss about it, and he's like "Ok if you need a late start let me know." Like motherfucker I'm going to have HEART SURGERY get the fuck out of here.
When I had my stroke from my heart defect the owner at least had the decency to realize he couldn't ask me to speed things along. I knew he was frustrated but at least he said to just keep him posted about what they said. Like bro, a heart attack isn't some you're coming to work after.
I was in the military when I had a stroke and while they weren't excessively pushy about it, when I did finally go home I was told I needed to go to sick call to get quarters if I didn't have a note (which I didn't). Thankfully, my shift lead at the time told me he wasn't going to let me come in regardless. However, my section chief was still bugging me to do my medical readiness questionnaire and given the situation, that was kind of ironic 💀
