what is the doctors secret to NOT getting sick all the time? when someone has a virus, we run and hide from them like they have the plague. what do physicians do to prevent getting sick week in and week out after seeing hundreds of sick patients?

Their immune systems are probably incredible from being around sick people all the time

They actually have the cures for all disease & infections, but if they gave it to you, you wouldn't come back

Washes and sanitizes his hands, doesnt touch his own face, doesnt sneeze into people and avoids common actions of contamination

i'm sure they do. but, i would like to know if they pop themselves with b12 shots on the reg or is it that their immunity system has built up very strong to prevent. if the latter is true, how important is it to vaccinate?

note- i vaccinate.

We are around sick people at all times and build up immunities. We also wash our hands about 80x per day.

Scruffy does get sick, but it is usually short lived.

mask and constantly cleaning hands, never touching door handles or any common source of picking up viruses and bacteria. keep dirty hands and mouths away from your mouth and that will prevent 99% of sickness.

Prevent? No.

But it does really help.

Generally, they understand the benefits of immunizations, healthy diets, proper hydration, exercise and do the simple things like wash their hands, use sanitizer, etc.

Oh yeah...well, doctors are mutants too so they don't get sick. Thats probably the real reason.

We get sick but don’t whine about it as much as most patients.
