I think I already sulked and ranted about it. But, yes, been sick, too. About two weeks ago, I was overworked and half-way into a 24 hour shift, when I got diarrhea. I kept working, but I then felt nauseous. I suggested I might need someone to take over for me soon. And then, I threw up, violently.
I'm an ER physician, and I was working at a smaller hospital with very few others available for backup. I go through a staffing agency, and they scrambled to find a replacement, but none could be found. Doctors who normally don't work ER but had privileges to admit patients there had to take over for me, and three different people over the course of the night switched out while I crashed and slept. I was up the last two hours of the shift and even resumed work, relieving my last frantically found replacement, before limping home, driving for three hours over icy roads. I spent most of the following day sleeping, but I was scheduled to work again the following day--a 12 hour day shift followed by a 24 hour shift the following day. I did the day shift but wished I had had that day off; I was exhausted and my stomach acting up. I stayed at a hotel that night--no point driving several hours each direction just to sleep when I could get more done locally. Thankfully the following day I felt somewhat better and made it through alright. It was a fairly slow day, too--that helped.
At the moment I threw up, I had two patients in the ER. One was having a heart attack, and I was mumbling orders for various blood lab tests and medicines for him as I laid on a nearby bed, but the other was a kid with an ear infection--he was less sick than I was.
I'm certainly not the only one who had a crappy week when the ice blew through. One of the nurses where I worked yesterday described an ordeal of running off the road and rolling over in her truck. She was genuinely surprised to regain consciousness; she thought as she went off the road that she was about to die. She broke a rib but otherwise was OK.

The change, does it wrack the bones and rend the flesh ? Yes, indeed it does. But is this pain and agony alone ? No, in fact hardly at all. It is the Sacrament of the Moon. The flesh flows and so do the endorphins. It is, in truth, the agony ecstatic; The Pain That Is Pleasure
