Wow @melfur that is terrible. Sorry you had to have that experience. As @Keeping_positive1 said for work you probably need a medical clearance. Did you have a medical certificate that provides a reasonable time off for your type of work? I would be calling your dr receptionist to ask for answers. It just isn't good enough to be left as you have been. I would also be phoning your hospital and giving patient care feedback too. Most hospitals have a patient liaison service. You got some advice above which is helpful. I am sorry I can't help further. I had different circumstances to yours.
