Guys,
I'm the mother of a non-trad first year med student. He almost missed the White Coat ceremony due to flu. It took Advil, Tylenol, and finally old fashioned aspirin (he's over 30) and the hard work of his wife, father and mother to manage his fever. Our friend was on in the ER and ready to get him in. He was very close to going, getting worked up, IV, fever control, and a spinal tap.
The Z-pack probably helped.
Even if there was no White Coat Ceremony, he missed several days of class and study, and of course got behind. Last year he worked as an EMT and had every kind of flu shot possible, but didn't get one yet this year.
So please, get your d*mn flu shots!
Thanks,
Mom
