I guess teachers don’t have credit cards?

Exactly. What it boils down to is she and/or her husband didn’t want to spend the money and apparently thought she didn’t need the medicine enough to warrant paying for it.

The problem is that this flu is not your normal influenza. I'm sure she could have paid for the medicine, but when she saw the co-pay she figured she could just tough it out. While there is no guarantee that the medicine would have made a difference, when you get this one, you don't want to fool around and convince yourself that it can't be that much worse than all the other ones you have survived in the past. If, by one means or another, this sucker gains the upper hand over you, you might not escape its grasp. One thing that's different is that this one progresses swiftly from onset to where you are gasping for your next breath.
