I work in healthcare, at a hospital at that, so the concept of "staying home when you are sick" should really be no problem for my co-workers. WRONG!
Three of my coworkers came in Friday night/Saturday morning, still running low-grade fevers and having terrible coughs, came to work.
I went to the doctor monday and they didn't test me for the flu because I wasn't running a fever. They did however do a chest x-ray, which came back all clear.
Last night, I felt like I was gasping for air, so I went to the ER. They tested me for the influenza type a, which is basically H1N1 right now, and I was postive. They also did a chest x-ray and I have pneumonia.
I just really wanted to vent and ask people to please stay home if you have a fever.
I use good handwashing but that only goes so far.
Thanks for letting me vent girls!

I agree with the saying home, however my boss does not! He's a germ freak too, which makes no sense to me. Literally I have felt like I was dying before but if I have a project I am working on my boss tells me to lock myself in my office and come on in! It's a sweat shop around here!!
Feel better darling!
Vent away, I would be PI$$ED off if someone did that at work and then I got sick! How irresponsible and selfish! Take it easy and get well soon!
P.S.- Make sure that DH takes REALLY good care of you and pampers you!
