And those included in that percentage that said they would be no shows should be kicked out of the profession, IMO. Risk at times is part of the job description of a care giver. What would we have done without medics on the battle field in the Civil War, in Vietnam, etc.
That’s OK, I plan to be a no show at the “pandemic” too.

Do these people drive cars? Ride bicycles? Or live in a bubble?
“Suppose they gave a pandemic and nobody came”
The Y2K of diseases.
Then they are not really caregivers. On top of that, the H1N1 flu does not even make the top 10 of what worries me taking care of patients.
Since our children are not grown, my hubby (also a physician) and I have a pact - if there is a real pandemic or bioterror attack, the one of us that can do the most good will work, the other will stay home with the kids. But the one staying home will be for the kids sake, not because we are afraid to take care of patients. The Lord will take care of us....one way or the other!
