A Bad Thing happened to me today at WFH

My boss denied my 1hr request for a doctor appointment for today. No idea why he denied this, I'm guessing because it conflicted with daily standup meeting (e.g. "what are you working on today"). Because I did not see his response, I missed standup. He's been silent all day so far. Maybe he denied my 1hr request for tomorrow too, because it conflicts with sprint planning? Not sure if I should ask him why or just wait for him to come to me. I even told him in my PTO request that I could give a doctor's note if requested but he still denied it. OK. Should I just go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow sneakily or are they waiting for that moment to pounce (i.e. fired for insubordination)? I know how these things work. I've seen many people come and go. Being in IT, I get to see how all of these things play out in companies and all the tactics that HR pulls to protect the company. Feels bad that I can't even go to my medical appointment. I've done really well in all previous months that I've been here (despite WFH). This month has just been bad for my productivity due to medical issues hence the doctor. Maybe I should just put my 2 weeks notice in? Fuck, I'm just afraid of being without insurance again. I guess the best /biz/ness move is just to start applying for new ones. For whatever you reason I'm on the way out. I will keep working hard and make them fire me. Never once been fired from a job in my 8yrs exp. I guess there's no shame in being fired once.

Anyone here (programmer) ever been fired?

Literally how?

I just started 2 weeks ago and I've been on a nonstop feeling of rush since then until today, and now I'm down all of my gains since I started, convince me not to dump tomorrow and leave this gambling hole forever, signals don't mean jack shit, everything is random and also manipulated and I hate this emotional rollercoaster so much I went through all the stages of grief in an hour over losing $2500 in unrealized gains when I wasn't paying attention.
