[quote=Anonymous]I've only had one boss like this. She was a complete nightmare for a multitude of reasons, but the medical stuff ended up being okay. This was good, because I started IF treatments while working for her.

I would just email her that I had a doctor's appointment, and I would be gone from X-Y o'clock. I think that at the beginning, I sent her a note telling her I was having some "medical stuff, but nothing to worry about" that would require frequent doctor appointments over the next several weeks. She never pried or said anything except acknowledging the email and saying ok.

While pretty much every other boss I've had was flexible in general, I have held a few position where the job itself frequently required me to be places at times that I couldn't control (and often last minute). I had to keep my boss apprised of medical stuff just so he knew where I was (and I went through several different medical problems at that job). He also never asked for details. The only thing he did was once tell me that unless I had the best doctor on earth who never kept me waiting, I had blocked an unrealistic amount of time for a medical appointment and I should not commit to getting back for some meeting or another that was supposed to be right after it (and he was right).[/quote]
