Scared of taking MC? Any advice? I am currently following up with the urologist and dermatologist at a government hospital.

I have a few genuine medical conditions that require me to follow up. Understand that MC is our entitlement from the government and may affect our work performance.
But I have a colleague who is like a piece of shhh and likes to mark people who are taking MC and talk crap when people take too much MC.
Any advice?
Netizens’ comments
- Tell him with high level of gross details why you need to take MC. Show illustrations/pictures. Hopefully next time he stops commenting.
- Be a mature adult about it and just take the MC. Playing mind games with toxic people just feeds into the toxicity, do not lower yourself down to their level.
- Important is to have a proper record. At the same time do complete your work as much as possible so that it is not seen as you are falling behind on your work when you are taking MC.
- Trust me, when you learn to care less about what others think about what you do, your life will instantly become better.
Assuming you have been professional, take the MC, get the medical rest and attention you need and DGAF about toxic colleagues. - Stop paying attention to your colleague. And if he happens to be your boss then maybe time to really take fake MC for job hunting.
- Inform your boss and ignore your colleague. If you need see doctor you need see doctor. If worry take too much just make sure you clear your own work and nobody need do more work cause of your mcs.
- If there is any lesson we should have learned from this pandemic is that people should take MC instead of coming in and infecting everybody else.
- Just communicate with your manager and/or HR and give them a heads up that you have genuine medical condition and will take more MC than usual. Ignore your toxic colleague, he’s not going to be the one who determine if you get fired or punished.
