So I kind of think its unfair to use up sick hours as we don't get to accumulate it like we do leave hours... Idk if they're "allowed" to do that, this company I'm almost done working for (ADT), doesn't even want to put dental visits under sick, even if the dentist said you were not to talk for 3 days or whatever...

Can you not work in your time off or ask your boss to rather use your leave hrs? I find this better because if you use up your sick leave and get ill, they cant pay you in leave, its fraud, so you'll have to do with unpaid sick. But leave you can accumulate with overtime and such...

My supervisor gave me leave for bp related stuff. I'm in CPT btw
Where I work -and at other hospitals where I've worked- we have "Earned Time" which is combination vacation and personal time ('personal time' includes appointments, sickness, but 3 or less days). You earn about 4.75 hours a week, if you work 40 hours.

Then there's Extended Sick Leave which you take if you are out sick (with doctor's note) for more than 3 days in a row.

Is this how it is where you work? I had thought it was the same everywhere (in this country), but it looks like it's not.
