It seems i do or have had a bout of it, i'm a bit chesty now that's all, and my GP was of the opinion that because of my ticker playing up at times it was best to start Tamiflu and reduce the risk of a chest infection. Anyway, i'm not dwelling on feeling a little under par, i have packing to do and have the time to do it. Though i am taking good care of myself, plenty of fluids etc etc. Yeah we have had literally tons and tons of patients presenting in A&E, granted yes they are feeling and looking awful, people must however take control of their own health sometimes, be reassured or encouraged to take some responsibilty for it, it is hitting our staffing very badly, and if half the staff are off sick then the hospital will fall on it's knees. They come in and cough and splutter and demand to see a doctor, it's a little unfair when there is so much public health info out there. We are dreading the winter, when you have regular winter flu, Norovirus and now Swine Flu, it actually quite a scarey time for us on the front line so to speak.
