A_Baby_Seal Yeah because the importance between a patient's life and a chapter of a novel has the same value, very nice comparison. Also, get fired? A boss forcing his employees to work despite having health problems and/or family problems isn't really a boss who's worth working for. Our family runs a business and we care for our employees' health, mentality and emotion, we don't force them to go clock in when they're sick or has family issues, we give them time to sort their shit out because having them clock in in an unstable state would only worsen the problem..... Oh wait, you don't care right? Because you would just fire them. A nice way to handle a business right? "You missed a day! You're fired!"
I get the feeling that you're the type that would complain about a missing extra free ketchup packet even if you already have one and don't really need it.
