8: Dearest Dr. Cuddy...

[samuraiprosecutor]

Consider yourself currently out of my good graces. I went to work this morning only to be rebuffed. Apparently I'm too contagious to be around my co-workers. A disappointing waste of time and gasoline and energy.

At least I was able to bring more work home.

Very well then.

That degree being that the bacteria and viruses are in a highly concentrated area that also happens to be sanitized. Otherwise, your risk of becoming ill is much greater outside of a hospital, unless you had direct contact with an ill patient.

A fear perhaps?

...I thought you were a businessman, not a doctor.

Fear? Of what?

My business maintains medical facilities to ensure workers' health, and a number of my sisters are doctors or nurses. Besides, it's useful information to learn, no matter your profession.

Needles?

So, yet another of those lessons that life has taught you?

...Of all the things I have to fear, a needle isn't one of them.

...More or less.

Then why do you refuse vaccines? Common illness isn't going to really strength or weaken your immune system permanently, and vaccines sidestep viruses and save your immune system trouble--and you time, considering how determined you are to work.

Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I've always preferred to let nature do what it will.

It's rather foolish to let her do as she pleases, but I can't argue the truth otherwise.

[samuraiprosecutor]

Most of the time she will do as she pleases, in spite of all our efforts. I see no foolishness in understanding that.

Ah--you have me there then.
