If the tests come back negative, and if the patient is healthy enough to go home, we release them. If the flu test is positive, we continue Tamiflu for a fixed period of time, and if the patient is stable and well enough to go home, we send them home with a prescription for Tamiflu. Of course, anyone who is too ill to be released stays in until they get better.<br /><br />Stay healthy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451958387969081740.post-12951547007438474032009-11-11T11:12:02.493+02:002009-11-11T11:12:02.493+02:00B"H

Not everybody has the swine flu but we cannot just lock ourselves up and not touch anything.<br /><br />How do they treat these cases in the hospitals. They hand out anti - Biotics and then they send you home or how does it work ?Miriam Woelkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627379693165339825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451958387969081740.post-7476410378859379492009-11-11T11:10:17.259+02:002009-11-11T11:10:17.259+02:00B"H

My arm is still a tad sore. The other nurses I know either had no side effects beyond a sore arm, or, as I did, had one slightly "sickish" day followed by a return to normal.<br /><br />Another one of the pediatric residents turns out to have been ill with H1N1, but ultimately missed only two days of work, having continued on the job with a slight cough and sniffles (and a mask) before he had reason to suspect it was swine flu. All of a sudden, on Friday, he said he had chills, and discovered he had a slight fever (37.6). Today he was back at work, looking and feeling fine, not even any sniffles. <br /><br />If everyone got it like this, there'd be no need for reasonably healthy people to consider vaccination, but there have been several disturbing exceptions of young, healthy people who simply die from it, ch"vsh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
