'We're praying for you but you're fired': 17-year-old gets fired from first job for not personally calling in sick after getting admitted to the hospital

There are plenty of folks who do not look back fondly on their first job. Entering a professional setting without any relevant experience can be a daunting learning curve for anyone, regardless of the industry. However, no matter how much experience you may or may not have regarding the working world, sometimes, abhorrent behavior is so obvious that you know you have been wronged. You don't even question if this is "how things are done" no matter what your employer tries to tell you. You know that your boss has crossed a line. 

In this instance, a highly overworked 17-year-old found herself fainted suddenly and ended up in the emergency room. She had her parents and grandparents contact her employer at the local bed and breakfast where she worked. Her boss demanded a doctor's note, which her mother subsequently delivered in person a few hours later. However, that wasn't enough for her boss, who wanted to be personally contacted by the teenager herself. Now, the 17-year-old was unable to make contact given that she was in the emergency room and had a lot on her plate. Despite various attempts at explaining this, the teenager was fired unceremoniously.
