How sick would you be if you had a 104 degree temperature?!
Question:
How sick would you be if you had a 104 degree temperature?
I have a co-worker who is 27 and she called off work on a friday because she had a "temperature" of 104. Monday she comes to work looking perfect, nothing wrong, not even talking about it. I think she FOR SURE faked it. I thought if an adult had a 104 temperature you should be in the emergency room, and it could cause brain damage? What do you guys think?

i've had a lot of "why are you so worried and trust her, don't worry about it" answers. But just to let you know, by her "being sick" i was left alone for 2 days so I was on the brink of work overload. Friday after work it was RIGHT to the beer store....Trust me it wasn't fun thats WHY im so upset..Could careless any other time.
Answers:
It's possible that that she may have had a high fever like that and is feeling much better today.
But I would be skeptical as well if I were you. Anyone who was that sick would be talking about it. You feel miserable with a fever like that. It's caused by a virus.
How convenient that it was a Friday....
Next time she calls out, require her to get a doctor's note from her physician.
