You are sick... ever wonder...

lol =D The reason is simple.. They wear a mask to prtoect themselves.. lol =D Din u notice, that most doctors will have a face mask covering their mouth and nose?? hehe ^_^ I guess that should be the main thing which prevents them from falling sick ^_^ ANd they cant be eating too much of antibiotics too, as their body system might get immune to it overtime.. lol =D

well im sure good hygiene and vitamins help but i bet if you are around it ALL THE TIME that they build up some kind of immunity to it to where normal commmon strains dont hit them like they do every one else

I guess most doctors stick to a routine exercise regime and eat less during their working hours, besides being careful not to catch the virus from their patients. or perhaps they're already immuned to them. I know my family doctor is a man who enjoys his work very much and always friendly and smiling each time I saw him at his clinic. I believe enjoying the work has much to do with keeping healthy. As we know, if we drag ourselves to work and think of it as suffering, then naturally we'd fall sick easily. And our incomes go to the doctors...

I have a nephew and a niece who are doctors and I often posed this question to them and actually they said that they do take antibiotic to avoid getting infected and when they are doing clinical works they have to use masks to cover the lower part of their face and to clean their hands thoroughly after each patient they attend to. I think all doctors have a set of discipline to adhere to and other kind of pills to take to keep up with their immunity.

This is a very interesting discussion. I think some doctors wear the masks. And in fact it's not bad sometimes we will be infected and then have the sickness like cold, fever etc. Sometimes this kind of disease practise your body and you will be stronger. Besides, the doctors pay attention to the sanitation. They often wash their hands. Besides, I am sure you know the famous saying: The most dangerous place is the safest:) I love China

a contagious illness ... no people can avoid it, even a doctor could get sick, only the patients never see when the doctor get sick but you can prevent from getting sick, just by eating Vitamin C, it is good for body immune system, to prevent people from getting tired and getting sick easily ...

I think in every professioin, you should be a living example. A teacher should be able a good listener and willing to learn. A Public Servant should be able to follow the regulations within his/her premise. I guess the same thing goes with doctors. Health is always their issue and in order for them to be credible, they should be the first one to be at the peek of health. I remember going to a dermatologist once and I saw how beautiful the doctor was. On the regular check up of my twins to their dentist, I also noticed how shiny the teeth of the doctor were! So I guess it also goes with General Practitioners. These doctors may live up to the expectations of the patients and others so they should also be healthy at all times. It might also worth considering that maybe, some of them are already immune with some virus and bacterias that these might not affect them anymore. Hope I have contributed something to enlighten the issue. Regards!

I've never seen my doctor wearing a mask to protect himself, but I guess I always assumed that being a doctor -- he does all the right things to keep himself healthy. I'm sure he eats right, works out, etc. I'm sure he gives himself a flu shot. And I'm sure if he catches something from someone that he just calls in sick like everyone else :)
