Return to Story IndexSICK LEAVE & ILLNESS
BUT EMPLOYEES WHO TAKE OFF WORK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME BECAUSE OF ILLNESS MAY HAVE MORE SERIOUS ISSUES FACING THEM. CALLING IN SICK NOW AND THEN IS NORMAL. BUT ACCORDING TO A BRITISH STUDY, EMPLOYEES WHO TAKE SICK TIME FOR LONG PERIODS MORE THAN ONCE IN THREE YEARS, ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF DEATH THAN THEIR CO-WORKERS WHO DON'T TAKE A LOT OF SICK LEAVE. RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT THE ABSENCE RECORDS OF NEARLY 65-HUNDRED CIVIL SERVANTS OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD. THEY FOUND ALMOST THIRTY PERCENT OF THOSE WHO TOOK ABOUT A WEEK OF SICK LEAVE AT A TIME HAD A 66-PERCENT INCREASE OF PREMATURE DEATH. DOCTORS SAID REASONS FOR THE ABSENCES SUCH AS HEART DISEASE AND PSYCHIATRIC PROBLEMS ADDED TO THE RISK. AND HOW DOES YOUR STATE RATE WHEN IT COMES TO PROVIDING CARE FOR THE VERY ILL? SO-SO, UNLESS YOU LIVE IN VERMONT, MONTANA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHERE SCORES WERE HIGH. ACCORDING TO A STATE-BY-STATE REPORT CARD PUBLISHED IN THIS MONTH'S "JOURNAL OF PALLIATIVE MEDICINE" MOST STATES RECEIVED A C. THE REPORT LOOKED AT HOW STATES HANDLED PALLIATIVE CARE, WHICH IS TREATMENT FOR THOSE FACING SERIOUS AND LONG-TERM ILLNESS. STUDY AUTHORS SAID IT'S IMPORTANT STATES IMPROVE THESE SERVICES, BECAUSE NINETY MILLION AMERICANS ARE LIVING WITH SOME FORM OF SERIOUS ILLNESS LIKE CANCER DIABETES AND ALZHEIMER'S AND THAT NUMBER IS GROWING.

ABC'S VIVIANA HURTADO HAS THE LATEST ELECTION DEVELOPMENTS FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. BOTH PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS HAVE STEPPED UP THEIR ATTACKS-AND THEY'RE PERSONAL. (SOT Obama 2pm Asheville NC rally) "John McCain has announced that they plan to turn the page on the discussion about our economy and spend the final weeks of this campaign launching Swiftboat-style attacks on me." AND THERE'S THIS WEEK'S AD THAT ACCUSES JOHN MCCAIN OF ATTACKING RIVAL BARACK OBAMA, INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE ECONOMY. (TAKE NAT OF AD ON THIS WEEK) "Our financial system in turmoil, and JohnMcCain, erratic in crisis, out of touch on the economy. No wonder his campaign wants to change the subject." BARACK OBAMA IS REACTING TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE HIS REPUBLICAN RIVAL'S NEW STRATEGY: WHEN YOU'RE DOWN IN MANY POLLS, THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE . (NAT - McCain campaign ad/GMA) "He is not truthful on taxes." THAT MEANS FOCUSING ON THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE'S RECORD AND ASSOCIATIONS. SARAH PALIN WAS DEPLOYED TO DELIVER THIS BLOW: TYING OBAMA TO BILL AYERS WHO WAS A MEMBER OF A VIETNAM ERA ORGANIZATION THE F-B-I CALLED A DOMESTIC TERRORIST GROUP . (SOT Sarah Palin/Long Beach, CA today) "I think it's fair to talk about where Barack Obama kicked off his political career in the guy's living room." WITH 1 MONTH LEFT BEFORE ELECTION DAY, SOME SAY THE INCREASINGLY FIERCE TONE OF THE RACE MAY TURN OFF MANY VOTERS. SOT Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal Columnist (NBC Meet the Press) "THIS IS A NATION HAVING TWO GROUND WARS AND AN ECONOMIC RECESSION.... WE HOPE JUST A MILD RECESSION.... THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR PLAYFULNESS AND MISCHIEF. IT AIN'T RIGHT. " THE CANDIDATES WILL FACE OFF AGAIN THIS TUESDAY IN THE SECOND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.
