This is crazy. I once stayed at a hospital for two months, countless ultrasounds, even an invasive procedure where they sent probes down my veins, two MRI’s and the final cost was around 5k… payed by state supplied insurance. I payed 0 and even got payed 80% of my wages… cause that’s the law.
FMLA is unpaid. You only get paid to miss work if you use your vacation time or if you had paid for short term disability insurance, otherwise you are fucked. I know a woman who was forced to return to work 6 weeks after giving birth because her leave was unpaid and she couldn’t afford to take any more unpaid leave

In the US right? FMLA? I was also out for about 6 months but received full pay, not 80%.

I did not need to use my vacation time and did not have short term disability. Sounds like my company did me a solid
9 months of chemo, countless tests, scans, meds, consults, two stints in ICU…$0
