Working while sick is something that is different for everyone. If you are ill, and I mean truly ill, not a little sniffle, you should not be working. This particularly should be true with health care professionals. The last thing someone who is already sick, injured, or has a chronic condition needs is whatever has you torn up. The flip to this is if you tell people "don't work when sick", it opens it up to all the people with no intestinal fortitude that will stay home because they have a hangnail.

The flip to this is if you tell people “don’t work when sick”, it opens it up to all the people with no intestinal fortitude that will stay home because they have a hangnail.

I can't imagine being seen by a sick doctor. If I need to heal from a cold, I hope he won't have a "comercial gesture" by giving me... a gastroenteritis ? Until now, I heven't seen my family one when he was sick... but his (hu...) replacement ? I'd better touch some wood ! ;) :P Hum… I can’t imagine being seen by a sick doctor.

A cough can send the scalpel in the wrong direction, or maybe coughing and getting germs on a person's exposed heart probably isn't the best, hehe.
