So for every feel-good thread, there is an equal and opposite gripe thread moaning and groaning about something or other. Here it is, and I'll start.
I got sent home early from work today because I am hacking up a lung and have lost my voice. But no fever, no vomiting, so I decided that I wasn't sick enough to activate sick call and make one of my classmates come in to do my job when they're supposed to have today off. Well, several of the clinic patients I was there to see were much less sick than I am. You know you sound bad when the patient is asking you if *you* are ok.
Seriously, though, the doctor's office, ER, or hospital is the worst place to be when you're sick. Who in their right mind wants to go sit around in a waiting room with other people who are sicker than you are just because your throat is a little sore or you have a cold? I mean, where the heck do these people think I picked up *my* bug from? :cry:
