Sorry that those of you in the healthcare profession are having to do your job. Lucky for us you don't get to tell us when we can or can't go to the emergency room or clinics if we feel we need to. If myself or any member of my family comes down with any signs of the flu, you can bet I will be in the ER or clinic immeditaley. There have already been three deaths from swine flu and those people had no prevoius chronic illness or indications that they were high risk. I say better safe than sorry! Just be happy you have a job to do and deal!!!

Stupid's stay away from the ER if there is a break
out of the swine flu, you will be told. Save the ER
for those who really need it. You might cause someone who really needs the care of the ER to die.
Your petty flu is not that important. And I as a
tax payer sure don't want to pay for your flu when
all you need to do is stay home and drink fluids.
and take two asprin. Get real.
