Most important thing to know about swine flu

[Guest guest]

Ok, a given....avoidance is the goal, but......

The thing for all of us to remember is GET TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!! If

you have any signs of an infection or the flu or anything, get to the

doctor. Don't wait until it worsens. Don't hope you'll just get better

on your own. Don't wait to see if you still have fever tomorrow. Don't

think of all the things you use to just let run their course or fight

off. If you're running a fever for any reason, you need a doctor. If

you're having more serious breathing problems for any reason, you need a

doctor. We don't have to die from complications. No one has to die from

" swine " flu or any other flu. We all remember when we were just told

" get plenty of bed rest, drink plenty of liquids, and take tylenol. "

That's not the way it is today with the new viruses or the new

antibiotic resistant infections (staph infections are another great

example). The bad part is these appear stronger than they were. The good

part is we do have new treatments and more knowledge. Today the word for

any of us is GET TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!

Now, I wrote this about swine flu, but substitute anything else you want

and remember the key words.
