Help me out here as I'm from Europe. A guy gets biten by a dog while at work, and is forced to work for two more hours, until he has enough and goes to a hospital on his own volition. Wait what? If I were bitten by a dog, while at work, I'd turn around on the spot, and leave that instant. Maybe, I'd return in a week time. Why do you put up with this?
