Hi
I am all set to graduate residency in 5 days, and was supposed to start work mid july. But I ended up tearing my hip labrum due to femoral acetabular impingement 3 weeks ago. I can walk (like a grandpa), but climbing stairs pivoting etc.. is a chore. Running out of the question.
I am thinking about getting it fixed surgically, but it would mean that I am out for 3 months without a source of income, since my job is in Texas and my surgery and rehab would be in midwest.
Do I have any option. Does my disability insurance from residency be of any benefits after residency? I have not bought any DI on my own unfortunately. (fortunately I have private health insurance).
Is unemplyoment a possible option? I would hate to do it, but I am kind of in a bind here.
