I went to the docter with a REALLY GROSS case of pink eye. It was a walk-in clinic, the closest docter around.
After the diagnosis of the contageous eye conditon, my docter suggested i work with it!

I was trying tp figure out why she told me to work with it...I also had a contageous viral infeciton of me throat.

I suspect she was sending me out to infect others at work (I have a very social job) and get more buissness for perscriptions. Call me paranoid but yeah.. Just goes to show think twice about these things...

right...and tommorow the skys gonna rain flaming monkeys with wings...call me paranoid but yeah
sorry but i couldnt help it
however, on a serious note, something tells me your doctor doesnt want you to poison the earth and/or its water supply...

As I recall, and I'm no doctor, "Pink Eye" is caused by a virus and there's not a whole lot that modern medicine can do with a virus. They can give you drugs to make you feel a little better but, they can't effectively fight them.

Of course, it does seem a little odd that the doctor would tell you to go to work with a condition that could be easily spread. I would've guess that he / she would have told you to take a day or two off until you were no longer contagious. The doctor may have decided that you were no longer contagious.

I would've still hit the doc up for a note to stay home though. That's just because I'm in need of a surprise vacation though.

I would be weary of walk-in clinics in general and for that matter, emergency rooms! If you want empathy, sympathy, and an accurate diagnosis, may I suggest B.F. Pierce, Marcus Welby MD, and Doctors Howard, Fine, and Howard. Unless you're having a heart attack or suffering from decapitation, be prepared to wait for hours and be mired in paperwork when entering an ER. If and when you see a resident (doctor), you may be diagnosed, tested, x-rayed, diagnosed, and told to wait. Hours later, you might be seen by a different resident who has a completely different take on your ailment and who will order a new batch of tests, x-rays, etc, that will take another few hours. it all resembles a bad comedy in the end, and people have actually died due to red tape, mis-diagnosis, and general mis-management. If I take heat for my thoughts on this, too bad.
