I have a weird question, but just curious:

During these long hours that can last all night/morning in biglaw, what would an associate do if he/she hypothetically had an oral herpes flare-up that was visible? Could the associate actually call-in sick during those manic/frantic last-minute deadline work-all-night sessions? Or would the biglaw community care more about getting the work done and not care that someone had visible herpes sores?
