Hi agma.....I'm so sorry this is going on. I had a (kind of) similar thing happen several years ago when I was a full time X-Ray tech in a local hospital. I broke my ankle, had to have extensive surgery, (by a doctor at our hospital, btw), and had to be off work for 4 months. When I returned I was suddenly a part time employee, which caused my benefits.....including my health insurance to change so I had little coverage. And a fairly new tech....everybody's "little darling", was suddenly full time. When I confronted my department manager (who I did not love), she had the nerve to tell me that she never KNEW I was a full time employee! Seriously??! (I had been for over 3 years.) Bottom line....I hope somehow your situation gets resolved so you feel better about things......Hug. ~whimsy
