FYI: Some nasty crap going around.

Hello All:

I know that there is sickness all the time in the world, but here in North Central Texas, there is a stomach virus of epic proportions going around. Vomiting for a week, diaherria and high fevers.

One of my wife's clients, a little infant boy, has had it for nearly 4 days now, and this particular "stomach flu" is so doctors are actually having people come into the office with this stuff to receive injections. normally, doctors would say stay away since usually "stomach flus" are highly contagious and you just have to ride them out.

So wash your hands extra good, and keep an eye out.

 

Not sure hand washing would be too effective if it is the usual winter vomiting bug: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus

 

Hopefully my gf never comes home with that as she's a nurse in a large hospital. We have so far avoided that particular one. Hygiene is key in our opinion.

 

What I hate are the hospitals around here or in the bigger cities around here. I was roomate with few people that worked in hospitals. And in hospitals they are suppose to post and have signs/some sort of notice for if the sickness is air born or can be catch easy. Basically if its bad and you should wear mask. Well the people at those hospitals didn't do there job and several times my roomate when in there with no mask. Later to find out she got introuble for it(not her fault that others didn't do the job of posting notice). Anyways so now shes scared cause this sickness is bad stuff and kills you within 24/48 hours and some of the times she went into the rooms without mask they were stuff that could take a week or so to kill you. So basically they were scared each day hoping nothing and they were told if any small thing came(come to ER). WELL thank god nothing happen most of the time cept once.. and that was scary enough(thank god hospital paid for it) due to them lacking in there professional ways.

 

I know some hospitals that do take care and go beyond good. Iam not suprise by my local area hospital not taking and messing things up. But then my roomate got transfered to a big name hospital farther away(suppose to be the best) but yet the staff and people didnt post simple signs about it or report in the paperwork about those rooms.
