Advice on dealing with hospital visits whilst on probation for a new job

Hi Japanlife,

I will be changing jobs next month, which means I wont be able to book time off for six months, so I was wondering if/how people have dealt with hospitals visits during in this phase.

I broke a bone back in November which has required me to make repeated visits to the hospital for X-rays and MRIs etc. I don’t really want to disclose this to work if possible due to it being a probation period.

Therefore wondering what people would advice of have done. The specialist I visit is only available on weekdays during work hours which basically makes it impossible to visit. Though it’s not as serious anymore due to most of the healing being finish, the specialist wants me to visit once a month.

Any advice would be appreciated
