Conniving boss cancels employee's doctor's appointment without their consent, so they file a formal complaint and kickstart a HIPAA violation investigation: ‘I did not authorize these changes”

If you were to create a tier list for the most important things in your life, where would your work life fall? Surely, you'd put your health and relationships with others above a superficial job that deems you disposable, right? As we get older, health scares transform into expectations of sickness instead of "just being carefuls". That's the way the aging cookie crumbles, so it's important to stay on top of your health, even if your boss tries to gaslight you into thinking it's not important to do so. Work can wait for anyone, but keeping tabs on your body can't.

In this next story, a woman's boss changes her appointment time without their consent, and the employee tries to file a complaint with HR. This didn't work, likely because higher-ups have all of their underlings just where they want them. As a result, this employee files a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. Maybe that'll teach boss a lesson on control and privacy.
