Medical leave 1 month into IB job

Have just started my IB job in HK and 1 month in have had a bad medical problem and will end up probably taking a month away from work. Can people share their thoughts on how to recover from this / any stories to make me feel better?

I'm very sorry to hear about your medical issue & wish you a speedy recovery!

Are you a FT confirmed employee?

I would not worry about what others think because your health is more important. Plus, there will be some kind colleagues in your office as well.

I would focus on your recovery. When you are well, you can ask for extra work or things to show initiative if you are worried. Wish you well!
