From the associated press, Sept. 30, 2009: Hospitals open drive-thrus
"Fast-food places have them. Banks and pharmacies do, too. Now hospitals are opening drive-thrus and drive-up tent clinics to screen and treat a swelling tide of swine flu patients.
Call it McTriage. And, yes, you can get Tamiflu with that--if you're sick enough to need it. Most people aren't.
The idea behind these efforts is to keep coughing, feverish people out of regular emergency rooms, where they can infect heart attack victims and other very sick patients. The need has soared in recent weeks as flu has spread among schoolchildren before vaccine is available."
What a fabulous idea!! This will help keep highly contagious people away from those who visit the emergency room for other reasons such as broken bones.
Remember, do your best to avoid swine flu by ordering my book. Now available through Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
