I work in a field that DEMANDS asepsis, and requires you to flag any break in a process which would compromise a patient's safety. I am more secure than an Emergency Room. In an emergency, you might end up under the knife of one of my MANY surgeons. I am a county traveller (look it up), and have seen random GSW's, ORIF's, internal ruptures, even voluntary procedures - some of them who coded - and came out clean on the end.
To my DISCREDIT, I held off my annual flu shot, because of my daily precautions. My son got sick from one of his sisters. They had mild symptoms. He did not. He was rushed to Children's.
I got my shot immediately. To my shame, I should not have held off.
So go f*ck yourself.
