8 days in hospital last summer and 5 weeks off work in total.
Serious allergic reaction to antibiotics
And i went back around 2 weeks too soon.
I was lucky, they wanted to remove a fairly useful organ, but i responded well to treatment, otherwise it would have been 5 months off
Clientco kept my role open
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

WHS, except one day, after a stupid dentist had cracked a tooth (into several pieces) while extracting it, and boy did it hurt a couple of hours later.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNever taken more than 2 days off as a contractor. Took 6 days off with man flu as a permie. Well actually it was proper flu.
Word of advice - Never let a midget female[*] dentist with arms like a stick insect try and extract a tooth, because being physically very weak they end up levering the tooth back and forth ever more desperately until it shatters and half of it is left in!
(Never taken time off for flu, AKA "a cold".)Last edited by OwlHoot; 12 January 2014, 09:51.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
