Thanks for letting us know.
The dr said he looked at 18 respiratory related people all day, as of 4pm, and had not had a positive for flu. It is the ideal season for breathing troubles from the weakest of people, children and seniors, and weakened immune systems. In Triage they put a possible flu tag on me after an exam. Further testing dispelled that notion.
The staff is less than happy with Houston tv’s alarmist report. The numbers just don’t back up the story. When we got there, there was nobody in the ER waiting to be seen, none; They wheeled us right in and went to work.
After 3 trips to the ER at this hospital in recent months, I am 100% pleased with them and have complete confidence in the staff, and I told them so as I was leaving.
The schools here are full of all kinds of sickness right now. We have a neighborhood only group on FB, and the list of things the kids have is immense, even hoof, hand and mouth, or something like that. Only a few have flu, the rest, other things. It’s that time of year, conditions are perfect for respiratory distress; cold, rain, cloudy, sunny, repeat... That constant swinging from good, bad worse.
That’s my report from the frontlines in Monkey County.
