There's so much attention now on Swine flu that health professionals seems to have forgotten that our bodies dont know there's a pandemic and will still have all the other illnesses they get anyway.
The fact that a 17yr old with "suspected" swine flu had to fake an overdose just so they would let her into her hospital , is awful. And for her to be discharged again before they made the diagnosis of Meningitis!!!
What if that was you or your daughter/sister/mother?

Surely there needs to be better management than to assume that all current illness is swine flu?  I'll be interested to see what the governments reply is to that incident.

It's shocking isn't it? Doesn't surprise me. I don't think the Govt will respond in any way - they're too busy scare mongering and pretending they're in charge ;)
