> Ed.I had flu on a psych ward in the mid 80's which was the beijing flu or some epidemic.I was the first on the ward to get it and no one ever came to see me in my single room(apart from patients).I was so ill and ended up with a serious ear infection.I have never known such pain but was told by nurses not to make a fuss!!.Eventually after complaining for 4 days they got a doc to look at me and it was so serious they thought i would lose my hearing.Thank fully after treatment i was only left with minor damage.Incidentally i got off lightly with my bout of flu as 3 people died on my ward and one was only 28 years old.Hmmmm!
