My 7 year old son has been poorly for a couple of days.He was up all night coughing and was running a temperature.We (eventually after a lot of persuasion to the stuck up cow of a receptionist) got him in to the doctors for a check up this morning
The doc checks him over reassures us that it is definately NOT swine flu but to keep him home for a couple of days.The wife turns to junior and says "oh well you wont be performing in that play then" The doc asks what play,the wife tells him and the doc turns white.Junior was rehearsing with the doctors child last night. He's got antibiotics now... It just makes me wonder whether he has got it or just a touch of normal flu.Have our docs been told to keep the "official" number of cases down to ease fears of an epidemic |
|
By:
why would they do that? It would make the death rate even more insignificant
|
|
By:
Well there's no need for unpleasantness Cath!
|

By:
I've yet to see the symptoms details for this illness.
I was very not well for much of the last 3 weeks, chest infection, temperature, antibiotics. Everyone says, "Is it Swine flu?" Still panicking :( Of course its not, if it had been I'd have been less ill. |

GP did not die from swine flu
The post-mortem of a GP who died after contracting swine flu has revealed that he died of natural causes. Dr Michael Day, 64, who was a GP from Dunstable, died on Saturday after contracting the H1N1 virus. SEETHING |

Eh?

By:
How old is cath22
|
|
By:
Yep the doctor who died had a blood clot
|
|
By:
Given the number of times she's suggested closing schools early for summer to prevent the spread, I'm guessing it's Cath15.

If your doctor prescribed antibiotics for a viral infection, you need to report him. |

By:
The Idea that doctors have been told to keep numbers quiet to quell fears of an epidemic doesn't ring true. We had a a govt spokesman 2 weeks ago stating that there could be 100,000 new cases a day next month. Hardly a move inspired to play the numbers down.
Unfortunately a number of doctors seem to prescribe antibiotics when not needed especially if there is no quick cure for something or easy diagnosis. It may or may not be a placebo effect but the overuse of antibiotics is a different issue I guess |
|
By:
ANY use of antibiotics for a viral infection is pointless and useless.
|
|
By:
So true antibiotics are no good at all for flu.
|
|
By:
There is a lot of symptom crossover so covering with antibiotcs is often a very reasonable thing to do.

Homeopathy will save us.
This is its chance to finally show that homeopathy is a powerful and effective remedy for what ails us. |

From Wiki
_____________ 1976 U.S. outbreak Main article: 1976 swine flu outbreak On February 5, 1976, in the United States an army recruit at Fort Dix said he felt tired and weak. He died the next day and four of his fellow soldiers were later hospitalized. Two weeks after his death, health officials announced that the cause of death was a new strain of swine flu. The strain, a variant of H1N1, is known as A/New Jersey/1976 (H1N1). It was detected only from January 19 to February 9 and did not spread beyond Fort Dix.[29] President Ford receives swine flu vaccination This new strain appeared to be closely related to the strain involved in the 1918 flu pandemic. Moreover, the ensuing increased surveillance uncovered another strain in circulation in the U.S.: A/Victoria/75 (H3N2) spread simultaneously, also caused illness, and persisted until March.[29] Alarmed public-health officials decided action must be taken to head off another major pandemic, and urged President Gerald Ford that every person in the U.S. be vaccinated for the disease.[30] |

[i]Item #1. Somebody, somewhere wants this pandemic. Its been pushed for years and the fact that the dangerous virus is now an engineered mix of strains does not alter this fact.
Item #2. The response will be totally unscientific, not based on sound medical reasoning but based on a manipulative and evil political agenda. Item #3. Somebody wants the dollars. That means worthless vaccines will be forced on the population as a response. It may even come to the point where the population is forced, at gunpoint, to accept a dangerous and quite ineffective vaccine, because big shots like Rumsfeld have shares in the vaccine company. Item #4. The Bush administration prepared the ground for an avian flu |

Australia seems to te worst afflicted
20 deaths to date, all with underlying health issues. The flu kills 100's ever year, most with underlying health issues. My wife had the flu last week, I took her to the hospital, after a cursory examination she was sent home Her syptoms were far too serious to be swine flu |

I went to the doctor, he said "Flu?"
I said "No, I came by car." |
