How to diagnose flu

A letter to the UK Daily Telegraph...

When I was a student nurse back in the sensible Seventies, we were taught a simple diagnosis for those with influenza. If there is a $10 note on the floor and the patient can get out of bed to pick it up, then he does not have flu, simply a common cold.

Similarly, anyone collecting his own Tamiflu from the pharmacy should be sent away empty-handed.
