If You're Sick, Stay Home!

Yesterday we had a woman call, (well, actually, it was her daughter who called for her), who was sick and could not make her appointment. She was told to call when she was well, and we would reschedule. Did she? No, she walked in this morning, still sick, for her appointment. I had time for her, so I went ahead and took care of things. Needless to say, I immediately washed my hands when she left. I wonder if I should have disinfected the papers she brought, that I stuck in her file??? Perhaps I need a can of Lysol just for such things.

The main reason this concerns me is that we have had about 22 cases of flu go through the local hospital in just 2 days, besides colds and such going around. If you don't have to be out (this girl certainly could have waited until she was well to do this interview), then stay home and get better.

Thank goodness my immune system is better than it's been in years, thanks to not eating sugar and other carbs. So I don't succumb to every germ that comes my way. However, there are way too many people who can't afford a cold or flu on top of their already fragile health problems.

So, this is for those who think that the world will stop revolving if they don't go to work/school/shopping/etc. - YOU ARE SICK. KEEP YOUR GERMS TO YOURSELF. STAY HOME!
