Is it appropriate to visit a co-worker in the hospital?

Q. Is it appropriate to visit a co-worker in the hospital?

A. No. A professional will resent being seen lying in bed, incapacitated, and wearing pajamas. Instead, send flowers, books, cards, notes, and call on the phone as soon as the person is well enough to receive calls. Don't say either We're doing fine without you, or The office is falling apart without you.
