Is it true that if you are sick with a cold etc before surgery then you arnt allowed to get the surgery done?

=I would call the dental office because usually they will re-schedule the surgery if you have a cold, however I have also heard that if they can start you on antibiotics within 24 hours of the surgery you age good too go. Best of Luck and better call right away

Depends on what the doctors told you before you let your son go into surgery.\n\nIf they told you there is a risk, well you took that risk and lost or rather your son did.\n\nHowever if some Dr just screwed up then you should consider it.

My husband asked the same question right before his last surgery.  They said the anesthesia could make him sick and he could accidentally aspirate it (suck it back down into his lungs).  That's why they won't even let you have ice chips.  Good luck!

they can do a surgery and become closed and then you can open them again, did I understand?

No, it is not right.  Sick time is a benefit that you should be able to use.  If it is a routine appointment (i.e. - physical, etc), they might ask you to reschedule if they are short staffed but sometimes that cannot be done because it could take months to get a new appointment.  Employers can ask for a doctor's note to verify that you actually had a doctor's appointment though to ensure sick time is not being used for vacation.\n\nTalk to your HR staff to find out the specific rules/procedures for sick time.  You may be able to fight this.

My doctor said no.\n\nEither it can't be done, or he just wanted the $$$!\n\nDon't be scared of the surgery...I lived to tell about it, and so did two co-workers and 2 friends!

unless you'll die of obesity shortly, DON'T get that surgery...  I've come across many people who spend a whole year in the hospital b/c of problems afterwards. some don't come off the ventilator they're placed on during surgery, others rupture their bowel (life-threatening, by the way).\nyou'll have most likely malabsorption, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diarrhea and vomiting... so, depending on what kind of job you do, they'll have to be very forgiving.\nregardless whether you get the surgery or not, you'll have to change your life //radically//.. afterwards only spoonful portions.. might as well do it without being forced to.

Yes, of course. Doctors aren't exempt from illness, and most have families that need insurance as well. They have to carry their own, from my experience, their employer (if they have one) doesn't offer it.

Well, if I understand your question correctly, the answer is:\nYou can have lasik eye surgery and be ok for your pre-employmnet medical test, IF you have it 6 OR MORE MONTHS PRIOR to the medical test.

No.  Being sick drains your body.  Still drink lots of fluids and give your body some time to rest.  Wait a couple of days before going back to your normal routine.

The law is they cant ask you if you are absent for less 3 days. You say I am sick - and they cant ask you what is it - or they would be violating the law (your privacy).\n\nMore than 3 days - they can ask you to submit a letter / note from a doctor. \n\n1) They cannot directly contact your doctor without your permission.\n2) They must comply and maintain the privacy of your illness (from coworkers, etc) if your make a request.

Not trying to be rude , but I don't need your cold.\nI need to work as much as possible because my finances are as bad as you feel... kind of laugh and say I hope you feel better soon.

NO.  Nice question though.\n\nI can't believe the number of times someone has come to an interview sick.  All I can think through out the interview process is "How fast can I get this guy out of here?"  \n\nRemember that the interview process is to show you at YOUR BEST.  If you're sick, you're obviously not 'At Your Best'.  And, as above, the interviewer's ability to judge you is clouded by thier own feelings of both danger and comfort.  \n\nCall and ask to reschedule.

You are ill and need medical care.

In America you could sue, but it would very likely be kicked out of the courts as a frivolous lawsuit.  One major stumbling block would be proving that a specific individual got you sick since germs exist everywhere.  That, and proving that they acted irresponsibly or negligently (it would have to stand up to how the average man would behave in a given situation).\n\nI don't think you would get anywhere with it and your time would probably be better spent keeping happy and healthy.\n\nGood luck with the cold/flu season :-)
