== == I live in Canada and the way we do it here is, if you have a serious medical problem that causes you to lose abnormal amounts of work all you have to do is provide a doctor's note and it's kept in your employee's file. You can either ignore your coworkers or if they are there at lunch say, "OK, so you think I'm shirking my job, well here's how it is!" Tell them if you so choose, but remember, you owe no one accountability for your private health problems and only your employer needs to know. It's up to you. In the US, an employee can be disciplined or even terminated for excessive time off, even if all the doctor's appointments are legit and you have a medical problem. If you can prove you have a serious illness like cancer, you should be able to get medical leave, although you may not have the same job when you come back. At some point your employer will just need to hire somebody who can be present. You can try explaining your situation to your coworkers or offering to cover when they need to be out, but the silent treatment is actually a pretty mild consequence. Try to schedule other appointments during non-work hours or on days off.
