Tamiflu

He gave me a pack of Tamilflu, said they had horrid side effects so it was up to me if I wanted to take them now. He then left in a hurry forgetting the unsterilised stethoscope and leaving the used mask, apron and gloves on the settee. He came back and reclaimed them with a message to stay in quarantine until I get the results. I waited 2 days. ‘You don’t have the flu’ he said abruptly and put down the phone. I was so relieved to be living in Britain, the country with the highest level of alert for a global pandemic of swine flu!
