My lymph nodes on one side of my neck (where the rash is) are all swollen and sore and it feels like i've got sunburn across one shoulder. Luckily the internet has learned me that it's not life threatening. My mum tried telling me that if left untreated the rash on one side could join up with a rash on the other side and kill you. This is not possible as it can only occur on one side of the body :hehe:
Suppose i'll have to drag myself there. ****ing hate going to the doctor here as you see a nurse (they know nothing) and they only call a doctor in to see you if they can't find your symptoms on google.
Have you seen the McLaren has broken down yet again? :hehe: At what point to they go running to Ferrari or Mercedes and ask for an engine?
I'm currently three weeks into a 5 month holiday (see parental leave) so that won't make no difference, although you joke but my girlfriends friend was recently off work for almost a year because of "stress" issues. She just kept going back to the doctor every month to get signed off work for another 4 weeks :hehe: It's quite a big problem over here. There's been talk of clamping down on it.
Thinking on it, they have a thing called vård av barn where a parent can take time off work (80% pay) and look after the child if the child is too sick to be at school or his current carer is sick. Maybe my girlfriend can get some time off :rubchin:
They'll sign you off for practically anything here at the doctors.Runny nose - stay at home for a week. But god forbid you take time off for anything else. Friend of mine took four days off last week to fly back to Ireland for her grandmother's funeral. Her work gave her a verbal warning
