If I'm having a crisis I should call 911. Which will bring me the JPL fire department. Then everyone at work will know I'm crazy. Thanks for the advice, lazy receptionist! I have an appointment to talk to the medical leave folks today. At least they're helpful.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I can make calls and be on hold for you and then connect to you when I get someone if that would be a help.

You're sick. It's not a lie.

Well, especially if they know about any of the stomach issues, you can just say its a medical problem and you rather not talk about it.
Technically, if you get FMLA, the HR person needs to know why (doctor has to write a note) but that is supposed to be confidential and covered by HIPAA.

I am also a fan of the phrase, "It's a private matter," but since I apparently give off an air of New England chill, perhaps that sort of thing is easier for me to get away with.

I work with nurses, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep a medical secret, but you may be able to imply it is the IBS.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I can't believe they are making you wait a week to get treatment. Fuckers. But as for your coworkers, I agree that "medical issue" or "health-related" is all the information they need.
