My family and I travelled to Ireland last week to visit my parents. We met up with the families of my two sisters, one of whom lives in England, the other in Germany. Each group brought their own bugs with them. My eldest daughter had a cough, an English child had sticky eye. Of 15 people present, 10 ended up with the cough, 3 with the sticky eye, 4 with vomiting and diarrhea.
On arrival home, the English visited a doctor, who went through the symptoms and diagnosed swine flu in the 5 month old baby.
On hearing this, the Germans went to their doctor, who took swabs, had them analysed, and 2 days later were found negative.
The Americans called their doctor, but he was on vacation. The covering doctor refused to see children. The local pediatrician was too busy for an appointment, but recommended the ER for any emergencies.
The Irish said "T'was just a cold, no need to bother the doctor"
True story, but I felt that the comedy room was the proper place.....
