When your sick do you call the clinic? My husband never gets sick but he did on Tuesday. He couldnt keep anything down, by Wednesday he was fine I just made sure I kept feeding him. Anyways his mother says I need to report it to the clinic and he is saying he is fine and not to call.... what do you usually do? I've never had to deal with him being sick.

If I am sick with a chest cold or something that sticks around for more than 24-48 hours I typically call my doc. If I am sick with a 24 hour bug I normally don't call my doc unless there is something about it I just don't feel comfy with. That may just be me who knows.
If he is continuing to feel bad even though he is not throwing up it may be worth calling the doc over, but if he feels okay then I probably wouldn't call the doc but that is just me.
Take Care,

If he doesn't want you to call the clinic, I wouldn't do it. Your husband knows his body really well and he should know when he needs to call. What works for us is that I may say to him "I think that you should call the clinic" and give him my reasons for that opinion, but in the end, the decision is his. Just my 2 cents <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Ahh, the battle of the mind.
I am going through this now. Although I'm not bed-ridden sick, I know I'm on the downward trend, headed for a tune-up. Somedays I feel better than others, somedays I feel worse. Do I go in now, or can I wait? I'm not "congested" but I can feel the low-grade fevers sneaking up on me, my appetite is going down...
It's a difficult thing, even for me who isn't afraid to say "I need help" but yet is not a drama queen (and call the dr's informing them with every other nautious day). It's a balancing act we have to play. The fact is: we are always "sick"....it's just "to what degree"
Too many a/b's aren't good, not getting them in time isn't good.
Perhaps your husband is just trying not to over exagerate, and wait it out. I do that. But while I'm doing that, my husband tends to get overly concerned and starts planning my trip to the hospital.
And, perhaps remind him: Waiting, in certain cases (like if it's not stomach related, but lung related), can cause more damage. It's important we don't lie to ourselves, and learn where our cut-off is. It's a guessing game, even for the doctors - we just try to do our best.
