The Infectious Disease Post

Before getting into Respiratory Therapy I was thinking about majoring in microbiology, specifically infectious diseases, so I have taken quite a bit of classes on the subject.

These last few months I have took an interest again on the subject, and have spent my down time researching through books, movies, a mobile game, and even a scavenger hunt.

This post is a hybrid part video/ part text so I would recommend watching the video first.

The references from the video are below:

Flu season not for me!: Surveillance screening for scheduling.

I have always believed in the motto "work smarter, not harder". 

As a respiratory therapist one is paid hourly and it does not matter how much work you do in that hour. You will not receive a bonus if you administer 100 more breathing treatments then your coworker. 

So what are the optimal times to be at work versus being on vacation, in regards to working smarter?
