H1N1 has hit the daycare and the hospital...

So far I am not sick, but several of my co-residents have been ill. None of them have taken the recommended SEVEN days off after coming down with it. My little boy seems as healthy as ever... just the sniffles he gets from being a daycare kid (possibly with some super-imposed allergies). Since I am on a pulmonary/critical care elective I am seeing the most amazing H1N1 cases. It has been a wonderful month to reconnect with the family as I have had weekends off, but it has also been a good month for learning. We are in the middle of a major epidemic and it will be an interesting winter season on Internal Medicine wards to say the least. I know it is crazy, but I am actually looking forward to it.
