Swine flu?

[jdm_inspired]

Fun yeah? I usually float between our Critical Care Unit/MedSurg and ER. This was the main convo. of pt families today. I was a little surprised though that a lot of them actually use the CDC website for info.

I love it, honestly. I started in ICU, but now ER is my home. I have floated to Med Surg and Telemetry but that was only once or twice.

I love where I'm at.

6th paragraph

There's been no evidence yet of pigs getting sick in either Mexico or the U.S. (Despite several countries' bans on pork imports, it's important to remember that the disease cannot be contracted by eating pork.) The original reservoir for flu viruses is actually wild birds, which can spread infection to domestic birds and people
