What should i do? Do the exam and infect someone, or not do the exam and not inf!


Question: What should i do!? Do the exam and infect someone, or not do the exam and not infect someone!?
So i've been diagnosed with chicken pox, and i have my as exams this week and i've been told by the doctor i have to stay away from people!. The only thing is, after a call with the school theyve said i cant do my exams infected, and i will have to wait and repeat the year and do them next year instead!. which means an extra year of college that i do not want to do!!

but i feel fine in myself, and the spots arent on my face, jus my legs arms and back and tummy!. theyre deffo chicken poxs, but i feel well enough to do the exams

i was thinking of ringing up the school and saying that on second opinion they found it was just heat rash, and do my exams (9 stretched over 2 days) which would mean i wouldnt be repeating a year!.!.

but i've missed the whole of todays revision by faffing around at the doctors!.

i really dont know what do to!. please help me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
this sounds a very unreasonable attitude on the part of the school!. Why can they not arrange for you to sit the exams on your own, in a separate room, supervised by a teacher who sits far enough away from you so she won't be infected!? Surely this sort of situation must arise fairly often - do they make everyone in your position wait another year!?

I'd be reluctant to advise taking the exams having been told you're infectious - what if you gave the disease to a pregnant student or something!? You'd get into all sorts of trouble if the truth came out!.
I would first speak to the doctor again - is he actually saying outright that you can't take the exams, or did he just mean try in broad terms to avoid being around people!? What if you sat at a desk away from everyone else, in a corner!? Can he speak to the school on your behalf and ask if they can make alternative arrangements like this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I understand the part that they do not want others to be infected but, seriously they should let you take ur exams in a seperate room form the others, so you do not have to waste another year in school!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a whole year of college sounds exhausting! and like the previous comment!.!.!.i think 98% of people have already had chicken pox!.!.!.!.so i think you should take your chances and is you infect someone!.!.!.im sure theyll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is understandable that the school won't let you mingle with others and take your exams at the present time but it is totally NOT UNDERSTANDABLE why they won't let you take the exams at a later time when your illness allows you to!.

Many schools allow people to take CLEP exams and accept those scores as credit!. That could be an alternative to repeating a year!. Challenge the exam!.

Actually if I were in your situation I think I'd sue the school for violation of your rights!. Somehow I think they're being violated here!. The fact that you're sick isn't your fault!. They owe you the opportunity to take the exams when you're able!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't believe you're thinking about lying!. Do you realize that if you infect a pregnant woman the baby can be born with deformities!?

All the dishonest things you're thinking about doing speak poorly of the ethics you'll have as a lawyer!.

Forget all the nonsense that can hurt other human beings!. Get a note from your doctor saying that you are unable to do the tests until the spots are dry!. Then call the dean of the college!.!.!.and very nicely, AND CALMLY, ask him to please help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
