I have available to me at work short term disability that will cover my wages for me while I am recovering from surgery, but I have to have it approved. Other than a doctor stating that I am going to have surgery, legally can they make me tell them what type of surgery I am having? Although this information should be kept confidential, My human resources person has a big mouth and I dont want or need the world to know what I am doing.
