Oh, its fuckin ridiculous. They get a fucking sniffle and take three days off. I've had vicious head colds and sinus infections and haven't been to a doctor for a cold in over a decade. The shit goes away on its own if you give it time and drink lots of fluids. If you go to the doctor, its like getting your car fixed. The asshole will take your blood pressure or do some test which requires another test and next thing you know you'll be on a low salt diet or be told you can't drink anymore or some new age shit along those lines. The last thing I need is someone telling me I'll go to hell for having my occasional smoke or that my liver is distended or I have some sort of chronic sinus condition that will require antibiotics. I have life a nice life insurance policy for my wife. Therefore, I don't need medical people telling me I can't eat steak anymore or I need to cut down on sushi because I have worms or parasites that are working their way from my intestines to my brain through my veins.
I have yet to take a sick day since I've been at this joint, and I've been a here a while.
