When he decided to tell me about the Africa trip, it caused anxiety rather than interest. :)<br /><br />I don't blame you.

I wonder what goes on inside a persons head, even one with an MD after their names when they don't consider that being sick and staying home might be in the best interests of their patients. I am sure he had no bad intentions, but that is not helpful if you end up sick as a result. Your story reminded me of an experience that I had recently and many years ago. The one many years ago happened when I took my at&t truck to salinas for a truck shell. When I got to the place the receptionist was sniffling and blowing her nose. Obviously very sick. I later made the mistake of using the same phone that she had used and as a result came down with one memorable bout of the flu. <br />The other day while attending class I sat down next to one of my cohorts who was pretty much in the same condition. I politely excused myself and moved to another part of the room, explaining that as much as I would prefer not to I had to move because I didn't feel like catching what she had. A couple of sessions later after she returned from missing subsequent classes she told me that she understood how I felt. A succes story that worked. I didn't get sick and she understood why I moved...Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832850857407567187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-91283173129404388422009-11-24T08:34:20.886-08:002009-11-24T08:34:20.886-08:00My first impulse was to jump out of the chair, Jor...My first impulse was to jump out of the chair, Jordan. Then I decided to pray I was immune like Stu Redmond in 'The Stand'. It would have probably been better if I had done a 'Monk' on him and run. So far, I'm Stu Redmond. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-82782837205811751182009-11-24T08:16:45.893-08:002009-11-24T08:16:45.893-08:00I would've freaked, then asked him if he was s...I would've freaked, then asked him if he was sick before he went to the conference.
