Keeping Hospitalizations Private: Tips and Tricks

I have to let my boss know i was hospitalized but there's no need to say what for. So i think it's a good compromise, saying you've been to hospital but avoid talking about the reason. It's very private even if it's nothing mental. I wouldn't want to talk to someone about appendectomy or whatever.

When it comes to a professional setting, yes. However, if it is with loved ones, they either already know or you are brave to tell them.
