My patients make me sick.

[Aristus]

No, really; I'm sick today. Had to stay home from work.

I love my patients. What did you think?

[fizzgig]

1. sorry you don't feel well

rest up and get better

[Aristus]

2. Thanks, fizz...

[lunatica]

3. I'm home sick today too

Work makes me sick. It's been a brutal two months and everyone is burned out making all kinds of mistakes. So I'm taking some rest because I've been stressing too much.

[Aristus]

5. I hear you.

Feel better...

I don't feel burned out, but I do feel overworked. And overworking oneself when one is around sick people all day is not good...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Aristus!

Now, you know perfectly well that your thread title has more than one meaning!

That being said, I am sorry you're sick...

I hope that it passes quickly!

[Aristus]

6. Yeah, that was the joke.

You always make me feel better, CalPeg...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I'm really glad...

[Paulie]

8. So what did they give you?

Norwalk like virus? Cholera? Hanta? Marburg? Inquiring minds and all that!

[Aristus]

9. Nah, just an irritating cough.

Kept me awake all night. So I was in no shape to provide clinical medicine today.

10. That bug can be difficult to get rid of...

so, I'm glad you're taking some time off to rest and heal.

[Aristus]

11. Thank you, love_katz...

[LeftofObama]

12. Get well soon, Aristus!

Your patients need you.

[Aristus]

13. Thank you.

I hate feeling like I've left them in the lurch. I hope to be better before tomorrow, and that I can get a good night's sleep tonight...

[Demoiselle]

14. Could you wear a mask during office hours?

Nah. I guess that would be a little off-putting. Get better soon!
