Every physician is entitled to call in sick when we're ill, which happens from time to time! Each of you may have different criteria. For me if I'm febrile with a temp over 100.4 and feeling like crap that's a sign that I need to stay home to heal myself, and prevent spreading any bugs to my patients and co workers! Others may even stay home if they're burnout and need a mental health day which is very understandable for our well being and for our patient's good! See the NY Times article below by Dr. P. Chen on when the doctor still comes in to work when he/she should be at home:
