I have a co-worker who suddenly found a lump in her breast and had to have it biopsied right away. She said she went in for the biopsy and suddenly found out she needed a lumpectomy instead. Because she had to be "put out," she needed 5 days off to recover. It's Christmas week, which (I'm sorry) makes me a teensy bit skeptical. Short of asking to see the scar, I don't know what to do about this suspicion. It's killing me.
Our boss asked for a doctor's note, which she needs to provide for being out more than 3 days, but she has conveniently forgotten about it.
Since she is paying out of pocket for these procedures, does it sound odd that she went in for a simple biopsy and got a lumpectomy instead? Didn't she need to prepare ahead of time for anesthesia (not eating or drinking, etc.?)
I feel awful for being suspicious, so I am really hoping that you guys tell me that this is all in my head.
