    After Hours

    Well, the cold-and-flu season is definitely upon us. Tonight the after-hours clinic overflowed into the hallway, and I stepped over to see a few patients with the residents and keep traffic moving. Everyone I saw had the same thing: upper respiratory infection, congested, paroxysmal cough till you gag. I prescribed a lot of decongestants and codeine.

    One thing about this time of year, you may be busy but it's not that difficult. At least sixty percent of the patients you see all have the same thing.
