I think I may have caught something from one of my patients. I've called in sick in the meantime.

Please do not worry about visiting me. I would hate for any of you to catch what I have! I don't know how serious it is yet, but better safe than sorry!

If we knew where you were, we would send things over or visit. Have you gotten a second opinion on what you've come down with yet?

A colleague believes that it is just a cold, but I fear it is something worse since I have been treating a patient with gastroenteritis. This fever has already lasted for a couple of days!

Sounds terrible. Have you been experiencing any other symptoms of this? Are you worried about becoming dehydrated?

[jolllly]

I am extremely worried about dehydration! I've been drinking water and Gatorade nonstop since the fever started to prevent it. I've also experienced fatigue and I've been losing my appetite!

Have you been doing anything else aside from drinking? If you've been in bed all day, fatigue is only natural, right? Also regarding your appetite, you might be drinking too much. Did your colleague give you any medication?
