dr. pepper- I wonder what implications it will have on the US economy as soon as it hits NY City and the other metropolises here. there IS no US economy... there is only a global economy. the US, through our fear, greed and arrogance has already ruined it for a long time to come. time to go fish. -cdm

I don't know the AIDs score, but, in the last 10 days, I've been in on... one MVA (car accident) with one flown to Santa Rosa, and the other, with multiple fractures, brought to us and flown to UC Davis; One MVA, 3 people, no major stuff; one lady who it her wood stove while wearing oxygen; flown to a burn unit Several cases of possible TB A fair amount of other stuff, too, in a pretty small hospital. People are going to die from pneumonia every year. Some years are better than others; we had few deaths this last year, with almost no flu. Some years are horrendous; I started in '73, right in the middle of a killer Hong Kong flu. We kicked this thing around in a department meeting yesterday, and one therapist summed it up thusly; "It's another viral pneumonia, and it is going to kill the old and kill the very young and the immunocompromised (and those who are stressing out on the news of this )". A pretty good summary. Hy Popharynx PS Had a guy with a possible attack of malaria, too; picked it up during the war, in the Phillipines. In my area, so far, more people have died from rattlesnakes than SARS Don't worry, be happy. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. Death is our constant companion.
