Would u still go to work if your doctor gives u 2 days of mc?

hmm...

Ok I'm gg to give a Social studies kind of answer.

It depends................

....depends on what kind of illness I got. If I've fever/cough/flu and I still go to work, that's irresponsible. If it's stomachache, u probably can't concentrate when u're working and may even commit mistakes in ur work, which is unfavourable. If you have diarrhea, then of course u shouldn't go to work! What if u can't control and poo on ur pants! That's gg to reflect so badly of u, not to mention the *EKKS* smell. So inconsiderate towards to your fellow colleague.

.....depends on the importance/urgency of the job. If my work is really damn impt and without me the whole company can't function. But then again, if my company can do without a MD for 2 months and it was still business as usual, how important can u be, right? Ok maybe ur job is really damn important, like a doctor saving life, fair enough. BUT!!! If u're a doctor and u're sick, all the more u shouldn't be work right!

Moreover, if your doctor gives u 2 days of mc, there must be a reason for that right? I mean, why not 1 day or 3 days? Why 2 days?
From my years of experience with doctors, GP to be exact, I derived the following about the number of days of MC given:

1 day is given to you - Chao4 geng1! But since u're paying for it and u already pon lesson/work, ok la give it to u. But 1 day only!!

3-4 days - you are really seriously very extremely ill. High fever, vomitting, diarrhea...so poor thing~~Take 3 days mc and rest well at home ok. Doubt u can go anywhere anyway.

2 weeks - quickly wear the mask! stay away from children and elderly. Guess what, u have chicken pox!

>2weeks - I will refer you to the hospital. Maybe will not see you again.

So what does 2 days of mc mean??

It means you are sick, but not the super serious kind. All u need is lots of rest and water and u will get well soon in 2 days time.

And yet! My colleague came to work for the past 2 days despite having 2 days MC from the doctor.
Ask him why he came to work and even worked OT, his reply was,
"Hey sis, alot of work to do la!"

Come on la, work impt or ur health impt? If 2 days rest can make u healthy again, what can be more impt than these 2 days?
And because he refuse to stay at home despite repeatedly being issued 2 days MC, he hasn't recovered since 2 weeks ago.
Is it worth it?

Alot of work?
Heck la~
