This is the worst bit, waiting to hear about the next surgery, the next procedure, whatever. I think it's even worse when you don't hear anything. it gives you no time to plan.
I keep applying for jobs. I have a lot of experience, working for the good old NHS. The trouble is, they don't seem to recognise that. I gave up my last job as a result of the behaviour of my line manager. She would berate me to my face for months on end. When I finally complained, she actually sat there and lied to my face. I wanted to hurt her. I believe it's what they call constructive dismissal, she made it impossible for me to work there; she actively created a hostile work environment. I know exactly why it was though; I was hired in her absence. That's it. Grown up, eh? Anyway, back on point, this has created something of a void in my CV and I now cannot get hired for toffee. Humph....
