Hello, I was in this company for one week due to sudden nose bleeding, and they advised me to be sent home. I was asked to send a medical certificate, and I did. It stated it was a viral infection, and I got a reprieve. Then, after a week of reprieve, I experienced a toothache. I went to the dental clinic after my shift and rested for the whole day. When I woke up, my face was swelling, and the pain was unbearable. I went back to the clinic to get checked and got a medical certificate, which I sent to the company, and they agreed.
After that, I was forced to leave the company because I was absent the whole time, despite providing a medical certificate. There is also a training bond. What should I do?

If these things had happened in India, I would say that just forget about the bond as you did not receive any training. But I don’t know what will happen in other countries.
