WHS, except one day, after a stupid dentist had cracked a tooth (into several pieces) while extracting it, and boy did it hurt a couple of hours later.

Word of advice - Never let a midget female[*] dentist with arms like a stick insect try and extract a tooth, because being physically very weak they end up levering the tooth back and forth ever more desperately until it shatters and half of it is left in!

(Never taken time off for flu, AKA "a cold".)

Thinking about it, trainee dentists should be required to pass a three pull up test before being allowed to extract teeth

Left hospital 3am Sunday night/Monday Morning, at my desk 9am same day

And you were neither use nor ornament that day

so no one noticed the difference.....

Never taken more than 2 days off as a contractor. Took 6 days off with man flu as a permie. Well actually it was proper flu.

8 days in hospital last summer and 5 weeks off work in total.
Serious allergic reaction to antibiotics
And i went back around 2 weeks too soon.
I was lucky, they wanted to remove a fairly useful organ, but i responded well to treatment, otherwise it would have been 5 months off

Clientco kept my role open

I was thinking IED which was rather confusing/worrying.

What are you, a ******* hobbit?

A highlander, born on the shores of loch Shiel, like my father before me.

Nope, one says 'Don't forget to invoice', the other says 'Don't forget to look at the other one'

Walked into clinic a couple of year ago with cyst, limped back out later that afternoon. Back at client's site two days later.
