Comment Title: You're wrong about MRSA
It may 'just' be a staph infection, but MRSA does form and cluster in your nose. They swab your nose to test you for it, and you are given a prescribed nasal ointment to swab your nose to take care of the infection. Also, just FYI....if you have been diagnosed with this infection, a notice is placed on your door, along with gowns, masks and gloves. Sounds pretty serious to me. I know someone who had surgery and they were unable to close the incision for a few days, had the Infectious Disease Doctor come in EVERYDAY and NOT ONE PERSON was told to put on a mask or gown or gloves, even though this person was at HIGH risk for catching an infection!!! What's wrong with this picture??

MRSA is simply a staph infection that is resistant to most antibiotics. The reason it people in hospitals get it so much is because it spreads quicly among people whom are sick. It is NOT from your nose.

I just recently found out that there is some disease going around in Aiken Hospital called, for short MRSR.

Isn't that what they just put Michael Jackson in the hospital for and they called it "the flesh eating disease" and it's eating his nose, because the nose is where it breeds.

Comment Title: Working Sick...
It's awful that workers that handle food are putting themselves and the public at jeopardy. What's even worse is the number of medical personel at ARMC that get sick at work and are threatened with their jobs if they miss more than two days (even though they are told they have a large number of sick days when they are hired). That's one reason why there is such a high incidence of nosocomial (in-hospital caused) illness at Aiken Regional. The already sick public pays for medical assistance and they get sicker because of infected, contagious hospital staff whose jobs are threatened by HR if they stay home when they are ill.

I'm pointing my finger at your Christian Neighbors if a Christian believes in Christ and believes he's working in their lives. Then why do they not think he's working in yours? He can work in your life minister to your heart and build a relationship with you that’s between you and him. What I'm saying is there choices are there's Gay straight fat skinning Christ Buddha whatever your flavor. But as most of the judgment comes from Christians my point is we were given instructions to point our fingers at ourselves not others. Does that explain it a bit better? Pray the way you want Bruce and I guess I'll say it like the Israelites did when nations were attacking them long ago. Other nations would talk trash about god and his existence and power would be challenged and he'd rise up. I'm not going to fight with you if I'm full of crap then there's nothing to what I'm saying if He is who he is may he work in your life and bless you. Discrimination is discrimination whether I believe in your choices or not there yours and none of my damn business at work its work that matters. Now I'm going to take a time out and stop pointing my finger for 15 minutes.....seconds ahhhh hell I can't stop.

I am a server, and we work sick mostly because we can't afford to miss a day. We are required to bring a doctors note if we miss a day of work, and with no insurance, it's kind of hard to go to the doctor and then get a prescription filled. Next time you see this, ask to speak to a manager and point out to them the server that is sick, and sure enough it will probably be the one who tried to call out that day but couldn't.

When I was a server, I never missed a day of work. I was never late, either. Then one day I was sick as could be. I still went to work, and worked sicked for two weeks. Everyone of them knew I was sick. Then one Sunday, I couldn't get out of bed, I was sooo sick, so I called in, and was TOLD I was to report to work as usual. I drove 12 miles to my job, only for them to look at me and tell me to go home. They threaten the server with losing their job, (cause they tell them they can replace them in a heartbeat) because, as always, the customer comes first.....whether you make them sick or not. As far as getting paid for sick days? You don't even get sick days, or insurance. Ohhhh, and a Dr.s excuse is a MUST.
