    PA: 2nd hospital setting up auxiliary facilities to screen flu patients

    "WEST READING, Pa. -

    ...The hospital has established a flu clinic to cut back on the number of people going to the emergency department for treatment.

    Patients who show up at the hospital with flu-like symptoms are bused to the hospital's "S" building for further diagnosis. Patients admitted from the clinic are then taken back to the emergency department.

    Officials said doctors were seeing more than 100 patients with flu-like symptoms each day before establishing the clinic."



    "What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it." - Herbert Simon

    "The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government." - Sam Houston
