I got my seasonal flu shot yesterday at work. No big deal.
I hadn't been at work for a week. The flu has definitely arrived. Its droplet precaution city. I have to say that the people I cared for really did need to be there. Two of them were admitted, one to ICU. They were people with underlying problems. Not your average healthy person.
You average healthy person is gonna suffer with the flu, there's no doubt about that. The flu is no fun. But it will pass. So don't come to the emergency room with it. There is nothing, REPEAT NOTHING, that we can do for you. There is no treatment for a virus except rest, lots of fluids, OTC pain meds. Do come in if you are dizzy, short of breath, it lasts a long time, high fever won't go away.
One guy with flu symptoms yesterday said: "I feel like I'm going to die tonight". Guess what that's what the flu feels like. It will go away. He got nothing from us and was discharged. Don't waste your time and don't risk infecting others in the ER while you wait in the waiting room. Don't risk infecting the ER staff. Don't risk infecting people who are already chronically ill. Stay home. Get a flu shot.

Our company gave us an information sheet on the H1N1 flu instructing on signs and symptoms to give to our home care hospice patients.
Guess what?
EXACTLY the same signs and symtoms for the regular flu.
I am not passing those out.
It is definitely easier to find out informative tidbits on the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra by inserting the keyword “Viagra” in the Google search tool bar. You can also log into theResources section of the website http://www.buy-viagra-with-us.com, and obtain comprehensive Viagra information.
