I guess they do not understand the relevance of the median in this. They just take the average and think it is "good enough"...

To be fair, the median is just as little information as the mean. We live in a world where ink is cheap, they should just show a histogram.

in this case the median matters a lot more. most people either get sick for a couple days to weeks with something like the flu, or get a more serious illness/injury like a complex fracture that takes them out for months. the first type is much more common but the long leave cases push up the mean.
