I don't know if you have any medical background or not, but what would you do with a 6 year old that presented with a slight fever and intermittent muscle pain? Most doctors here in the US would do exactly the same thing as this doctor, given that this little girl did not present with flu symptoms. Kids get viruses all the time. There is nothing a doctor can do but treat the symptoms. For her symptoms, Advil would have been the remedy of most physicians. There really isn't enough information to determine why this little girl died. Maybe we should find out what happened before assigning blame with the doctors?
Well times change. Right now doctors need to err on the side of caution. I took my son in yesterday with a fever, he tested positive for swine flu. Now on tamiflu as the whole house is. It was difficult to find it and it’s expensive $600.
