wah...u should demand for more days mc then. look fierce!Originally posted by the Bear:question: how do people get medical leave from doctors so easily?
i'm almost dead and the doc tells me this in one unbroken sentence: you'll start to feel better in 3 days' time and i'll put you on one day's medical leave...
then i gotta go to work ill (like now although feeling better) while other people seem to be totally okay yet on medical leave for a couple of days?

bear maybe u look too big and strong to look sickly.... u must try to look very sick... eyes sad lips dry face white talk in a weak voice with a s.l..o...w.... pace like no energy like dat...

most prob the strain u r immunised with and the one u kena r different. so..u will still get fluOriginally posted by the Bear:same place but different docs...
how about dribbling nose, no voice (barely able to speak because throat's messed up and swollen), raging fever, bloodshot eyes, almost unable to stand straight because of bodyaches....
clear indications of influenza, the real type... the virus that killed the most number of people in history... not runny nose...
the doctors on tv says that for influenza, the patient requires a week of rest.. and this quack says it's influenza.. and gives me one day medical leave...
was in too weakened a state to care at that time...
oh... strangely, i was immunised against influenza... yet i kena?

Tell him straight that you may not be well enough to return to work tomorrow and you need an MC to cover 2 days just in case.
haha....must clarifyOriginally posted by the Bear:well, you can go molest your doc if you want...

the doc will laugh his head off.....virus sure contagious mah. hmm...must give better reasonsOriginally posted by choco B:You can reason that your virus is contagious so better to stay home for a few more days.
Or you can also say that symptoms hinder you from doing you job / work aggravates symptoms. e.g. teachers with sore throats get longer MCs.
For you uuuh.... loss of voice means you can't shout at the truck drivers? LOL
Originally posted by the Bear:uhh... maybe i gotta prepare a list when in case i fall ill again
it's not a matter of "thick skin" here.. rather, a matter of.. "i wanna go back to sleep after this pillroller gives me the pills"..
maybe a list is good
Originally posted by NeonTetra:the doc will laugh his head off.....virus sure contagious mah. hmm...must give better reasons
hmm i think he dun wanna spoil market and also dun want the compnay to investigate him...Originally posted by choco B:Oh so my reason is valid lah?
If so isn't it more comedic that he doesn't acknowlege it? In fact he can't turn it down
If patient works in place where he comes in contact with alot of people, all the more he shouldn't be allowed to work if not fully recovered.
then try to look pathetic....mabe it will help?Originally posted by the Bear:usually too sick to be fierce
the irony of it... gotta be well enough to be intimidating in which case you don't need the medical leave....
if you're too ill to be intimidating, you don't get the sick leave
ur conditions seems like URT1Originally posted by the Bear:i don't deal with truckies this month
just the rest of the team.... next week, gotta deal with people who take buses
as for being pathetic-looking... if "making wanton" in the office, barely able to speak and bloodshot eyes with a raging fever isn't bad enough, i should call in undertakers to come with me
in other news, i eat way too fast for my own good
