This is the flu.

This is a picture of the influenze virus....it looks like a sponge, kind of ugly looking if you ask me.
but I think it is important for you to see what is really floating around inside your body when you get sick. Wash your hands people!!!

So it has been a somewhat long week. I am beginning to feel the effects of the flu! Yes I believe I have caught something from the patients that I care for and I am feeling sicker than I have all semester long.

The patients we care for are high susceptible and known carriers of any flu or bug known to man. So naturally having spent three days a week with these people I will ofcourse inhert some lovely germ/bug they are carrying.

What can you do about it though? I got my flu shot, it hasn't worked anyways. I think it's like placebo medication, you take it and it just makes you feel better but honestly doesn't really do anything for you other than make you think you are getting better or less susceptible to something.

I think someone should try to find a complete and total cure for stupid winter illnesses, we would be healthier all together if we could extinguish them and rid the earth of these nasty little creatures.
