Influenza whack-a-mole

Posted by GruntDoc on 4th October 2009

What’s the ED like during a flu pandemic?

With all due respect to the afflicted, for the staff it’s like a game of whack-a-mole with no end.

The board says a family plan with flu like symptoms, then several singles with same.

So, off we go, see them all, send them home, then more pop up in other rooms! It’s flu whack-a-mole.

I’ll be glad when this ends, because I never liked that game.
