I started a brand new job at a rare disease pharmaceutical company two weeks after delivering twins too prematurely to survive. I never told anyone until after I was promoted from part time consultant to full time manager. Less than three years later, I started another new job four days after an ectopic pregnancy ruptured my fallopian tube and I nearly bled out before getting into the OR. I was praised for my precision and laser sharp focus during my first week of work.
