Quotation in “The psychology behind the subtle pressure to work when sick”

cover-bbc-20161014I was quoted in an online article published by the BBC on sick leave by Georgina Kenyon, an editor and journalist. (PDF)

Quotation:

“Michael Tam, staff specialist in general practice at Fairfield Hospital, in Sydney, Australia advises taking time off at the beginning of a bad cold, especially if you work in an industry where you will be in close contact with lots of people, such as hospitality, or in a caring role.

Even if you work in an office, Tam offers the same advice, since staying away will prevent the spread of the illness.  Got a stomach bug? Stay away from work for two days after vomiting and diarrhoea stops.”
