My residency program director has no fucking compassion. I've been sick in bed for the past 3 days (well technically two because i was on call when i started getting sick with a 104 fever and chills). Was hoping I could get off work tomorrow seeing as I'm, ya know, kinda contagious and shouldn't be working with sick kids but nooooooo, stupid residency director says i need to find someone to cover for me if i need to call in sick. She has no fucking idea how hard that's gonna be. It's actually gonna be easier for me to go to work sick than finding someone to cover for me. I can barely talk and she expects me to make a million phone calls. what an ass. It's their evil scheme to make sure nobody ever gets sick. One of the residents in my old program told me that you couldn't call in sick and you can only make somebody's death as an excuse not to go to work if it's your own. huh. I guess it's gonna be the same for this program. It's times like these that i wish i was in a whole different profession. You'd think doctor's would know not to let sick people treat other sick people. duh. common sense.
oh well. here's hoping i don't faint or anything tomorrow at work. That would be kinda embarassing. heh.
I just realized that i don't have an in case of emergency person. I better go find one.
