Interesting. My family, including all the kids, which are many in my extended family, never went to an ER when any of us had the flu. We always went to our doctor if needed.

I think one goes to the ER for routine URTI when you are one of those that sticks our health care system for the bill. The ER can't turn away patients and those that siphon off of the system know this. We aren't practicing good Darwinism by these actions.

I am coming down with something and I fear its the flu. Like a good trooper, I got my flu vaccination back in October. I feel like dirt.
