No. And BP issues weren't the issues I had at work, although if they had been I wouldn't have revealed it. I'm a retired psychatric nurse. I just don't get it when people feel it necessary to reveal medical details and issues at work. Unless you require special accomodations, (and even then it's your employer's business, not the employee's concern), why should it be their beeswax? More fodder for water cooler gossip IMO. If pressed you can say you had some "medical issues" but you're feeling better and happy to be back at work. Only an insensitive nosy busybody would take it to the next level by specifically asking you what was wrong. In that case, you can politely say you'd rather keep it confidential. As people in the medical profession should know, confidentiality is paramount.
