November Notes, Day 23

"Anywhere But Here"

I caught a cold.  Workplace hazard.  I wash my hands like crazy, 

but it doesn't help when a viral-laden pedi coughs in your face

when you're doing the throat exam or looking in their ears. 

I tell their parents to keep them home, rest, lots of fluids,

follow up with their pediatrician in a couple of days if they're

not getting better... 

And, yet, I can't call in sick and follow my own advice.  

I have to go to work.

After all, those Norco scripts aren't going to write themselves...
