10. This article and the comments brings back memories from last winter
when my newborn twins were in the NICU. I recall one of the nurses there one evening who was practically coughing up a lung in between caring for tiny vulnerable preemie babies (mine included).

Apparently hospitals are some of the worst places for sick leave, but if a sick NICU worker ends up spreading her illness to the patients, it could literally cost the hospital tens of thousands of extra dollars.

I just wonder when our society is going to finally "get it" as to how destructive these policies are, and how harmful they are to everybody.
