Yep, that’s what I’m calling it. We had 2 more kiddos come in with bugs today but they tested negative for influenza even though they looked closer to death from a kids version of it lol Later that day though we had word that one of the nurses was tested positive for swine flu so she’s out for the week. Apparently she got sick last Friday but thankfully we did not have clinic that day and had no contact with her. We are still waiting for our supply of the flu shot which is irking tons of people but they are passing them out to the smaller practices first and then the hospitals.

I still need to get more people in our football pool around here. Just wish the people who say they want to play actually play then it would be great cuz we could potentially have at least 10+ people verses the 3-5 that normally play every week which is variable.

Well, it is flu season again and people are already freaking out over it. I’ve had a few calls from some of our patients parents wanting to know if we had a stock of it yet and if it would cover the swine flu. It is rolling into the hospital now so in a couple of weeks we should have a full supply I’m guessing.

One of my friends nephews is in college and I can only guess by now that his entire frat house has it as it has been spreading through there like wildfire. They essentially have been quarantined in there own place lol

I still won’t get the flu shot though. Don’t believe in it and no one is going to change my mind about it either.

You have to have a sense of humor these days with all of the crap spewing on the news and with the pig flu being the prominent news story it makes it even worse. For one I cannot believe they are blowing this out of proportion because there have been thousands upon thousands of people just dying alone from the regular flu much less the bird and pig flu.

Either way I have a funny story my boss told me yesterday. He was either in Walmart or Costco shopping and he happens to be in a wheelchair. He has a cough from his allergies and he happened to cough really loudly in the store when some man he did not know came up to him and asked him if he happened to be in Mexico recently because he obviously came to the conclusion that my boss had the pig flu since he was coughing. Well, my boss said no he has not but he did visit a Taco Bell the other day. The man had an odd look on his face, did not say anything and just walked away lol You think he didn’t appreciate that response?
