So, today I get a text from my manager asking me how I felt. I replied with "feeling better, just not myself yet, see you tomorrow". I was told by the ER Doctor to take at least 2 days of from work. Then I get a text that says, well we think you should finish your medication and return to work on Monday. Today was Tuesday, and I cannot afford a week off without pay. I said, via text that I was a bit confused and could not afford to be off that long.
My next response was as per Dr._________ my boss, no one here wants to get sick. I responded with well, as per the ER DR, after 2 days you are not contagious anymore. Then I got a see you tomorrow. Wtf? You can google strep throat or call any medical doctor to see what the time constraints are for being contagious. And strep is airborne. You breathe it, touch it on someones hands, anything. It's insane that on top of NOT having insurance I am expected to be out of work for a week. Believe me, if I could get paid, I would have jumped on that. Hell, one bottle of pills alone out of the three cost me 75 dollars! Plus I now have the hospital bill looming over my head now.
Nice.
