Something is just fundamentally wrong about snow in October. But that's what we had this past Saturday. Mind you, it was just a dusting and was gone by mid day, but the weather that has followed since then hasn't been much better - near freezing temperatures and a continuous precipitation that has ranged between a drizzle and a downpour. Isn't this the time of year when fall foliage is supposed to be brilliant and crisp Indian Summer afternoons make for great bike rides? No such luck this year. It looks like autumn has completely bypassed us.
Despite the depressing weather, it appears that we have all survived the dreaded flu. Which is no small feat! This week we've had "emergency" H1N1 meetings daily (which kind of makes them seem less emergent and more part of the daily routine) and I have more information about the pandemic than I really care to have. Fortunately, it appears that the virus is milder than anticipated. Unfortunately, it is spreading like wildfire and patients and staff alike are beginning to be impacted. Since I now appear to have obtained my immunity the hard way, I may have to put on a pair of scrubs and help take care of the patients who are coming in sick!
