Article says sick leave on antibiotics was 11 days compared to 22 with the invasive surgery.
The non invasive surgery only has you taking it easy for 7 days with no lifting anything over 10 pounds for a bit after that. They send you home from the hospital after 2 days. Most people resume work during the initial week.
- rsynnott 8y agoStudy was in Finland. How much time people take off presumably depends heavily on national laws and norms around sick leave. Some countries have very generous laws around paid sick leave; others, like the US, don’t have mandatory paid sick leave at all. Finland seems to be a special case; 10 days paid sick leave for a given incident, but in practice this is improved on by collective bargaining agreements in many trades.
- wccrawford 8y agoI had the non-invasive version a year or so ago. That matches my experience pretty much exactly.
