Too busy to be sick

This is a practical guide for those who are too busy to get sick. You run a schedule tighter than a Scotsman’s pockets, with many people relying on you to get the job done. Falling sick is not an option. It struck me that the people who complained most were well-educated, versed in math, English, and literature. Yet they didn’t know the first thing about self-preservation. When something went wrong, their only option was to see a doctor. And who wants to rely on outside help every time they fall ill? Don't get me wrong. This book is not a substitute for seeing a doctor. In fact there are moments I suggest you go directly and see one. Loss of a limb due to a horrific industrial accident, for example. Or ebola. This book will make you aware of the symptoms of influenza and how to rid from your body, before a doctor becomes your only option.
