Flu Jab
I made my first visit to the new Royal Blackburn this week, in fact I went twice to two different departments and on the surface it looks fine. I went for my sis monthly MOT with the Prof., that's my consultant Professor Ormerod and as usual at this time of year we had our usual differance of opinion. I always used to have the Flu Jab, the only problem being that within three days of having it I was being rushed into hospital with blue flashing lights. The last time I had the Jab was the 13th Oct 1994; I was in "e" 3 at Queens Park the fifteenth. The bottom line was that that every year, over the winter months I was probably admitted as many as six times, so I said enough is enough and decided not to have it again. I informed the Prof of my decision, to which he replied "Well John I'm like the Queen, I'm only here to advise. I have to say that this is the only time I have not taken notice of any doctor. However, the outcome is that since 1995 I have only been admitted to hospital on one occasion in Aug 2001, so I feel my decision was justified. The only down side is that I don't go out much in the winter months and any one with any type of ailment do not cross my door step, but it works for me. Has anyone else had problems with the flu jab.
