I was sent home sick from work Thurs and told to stay home on Fri.
I thought all I was was a 48 hr bug, and would get over it over the weekend- well now I've developed a fever, shaking chills, white spots at the back of my throat and that excruciatingly painful swallowing.
My doc can't see me. So.......
I'm going to have to do what I soooo dread to do-
Go to urgent care and hang out there for ten hours waiting for a stupid PCN script!
How can I go to work on Mon and take care of a bunch of immuno-supressed pts if I am not better by then?
We are already working short staffed. There's no on to fill in for me.

I did not get to see the doc at urgent care- the line was all the way around the building, so I went home and went to bed.
I'm going to try again today. I have'nt been this sick in years. It's surprising how weak and shakey I am.
Thanks everyone for the advice and empathy.:redbeathe
