    Do Doctors get swine flu?

    Have they already built up immunity?

    They get it on prescription.

    If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

      They have easy access to tamiflu.

        No such thing as immunity, Dr d000hg said so. We all just need to shut ourselves away in cupboards for the next year or so.

          True but I just had a quick shufty at the Lancet, BMJ and NEJM and there's nothing in the literature about using Oseltamivir as a prophylactic.

            Pah! I bet Sir Lancelot Spratt would have just told us all to pull ourselves together!

              gf works with another 8 doctors and they have been doing a 'swine flu' rota where a doctor a day has to deal with the calls. Initially they had to go to the house but now it's just 'don't come near us'. Nobody has got it yet.

              Many of the people phoning up are the usual loonies who phone up on a Monday morning saying they have what was on casualty on Saturday night.

              They are now keeping a note of who has been given tamiflu and you don't get it twice.

                The late Dr Day of the Priory Practice in Dunstable caught swine flu and met his end. I understand he had been ill for years with various circulatory problems.
