Would you raise an eyebrow? Can’t work as teenager sick

Lovely sunny day (destined to be busy) at a visitor attraction and a key team member (head chef) phoned to say they couldn’t come in as their child had a migraine (16 in a couple of months).

Child is not neuro diverse and no other issues raised about their physical/mental health (which appears otherwise good).

Would you raise an eyebrow?

At my very worst the increased pain in my head from vomiting caused me to pass out.
I came round on the bathroom floor.
I could have choked on my own vomit!!!!
I am medicated against them and I have fewer to worry about.
If anyone was suffering a migraine like I used to I would not leave them alone.

I agree with this, wouldn’t be able to even think about looking at a screen with a migraine!

Sometimes I can look at a screen. Sometimes I just need a distraction from the pain and boredom.

I have chronic migraine so rarely have a day off from either a full blown migraine or some combination of symptoms.

I’m not going to judge how anyone gets through it.

My last one I could look at my phone despite feeling sick and ill and eventually puking. It depends on the individual. Other ones I have had I wouldn't have been able to.

You can get migraine with just disturbed vision and a headache. Usually it is a warning for a bigger one but sometimes it isn't but you can function.

I'd be suspicious that the child is not ill at all to be honest. Does the team member have a record of being sick at busy times, or being very selective in their requests for days off?

It it not identifying as I have changed many of the key details

Then surely it’s pointless as nobody is responding to what actually happened?
