So I've had swine flu this week but haven't been febrile for more than 48 hours. I went to a scheduled dermatology appointment. Good, great, terrific. I had to fill out a form that said, "Please mark any current or recent symptoms." I marked fever and nausea, because I had them both this week.The resident came in with a mask on, all wide eyed, and said, "You have swine flu?" I said, "No, I had swine flu this week. I've been fever free for over 48 hours." She left.A while later the doctor came in without a mask and looked really relieved. She said, "You gave us a scare. We were going to have to do sanitization and innoculation and quarantine part of the building." Whoops. I suggested they differentiate recent and current symptoms on their form.
