Next year…
…when they come around with flu shots, remind me:
–that there is always a flu shot shortage, but because I work in a hospital, I’m one of those “high risk” people and shouldn’t feel guilty for taking it away from an elderly feeble woman–most likely, she’ll manage to get her shot too.
–that because I work in hospitals, the likelihood of being exposed is much higher–even if it is from your lowlife classmate *grumbles at fellow student who should not have come to work!*
–that I don’t want to be a vector and pass on the flu to the poor, elderly, feeble woman, whose shot I stole.
–that even though my arm goes numb and weak and hurts like nothing else after the shot, that only lasts a day, and this flu has last five and I’m not getting much better.
–that trying to study for the hardest test of the year is difficult enough without adding in fevers and head congestion.
–that I make one of the lousiest patients around and really, really, really hate being sick.

Oh, sweetie, I’m so sorry. Being sick bites.
But reread this post next year when flu shots come knocking again, mmmkay? 🙂

And one more to add to that (what you’ve said, just in econ terms)–getting a flu shot causes positive externalities! 😛
(I’m sure you’re better by now, and that you’ve taken the ugly final, but *hugs* anyway.)
