Dr. Sanjay Gupta-- H1N1 in Afghanastan
Sanjay is a medical reporter for CNN, a neurosurgeon and family man. He and his cameraman were stricken with H1N1, while in Afghanastan. They went to a battlefield hospital to be treated for their symptoms--hacking cough, high fever, lack of appetite, extreme sinus congestion and body aches. The treatment was Tylenol, IV hydration and sinus decongestant. They both felt better fairly quickly.
My cousin's visit, was unfortunately, cut short, due to me losing my voice. We had a great time, though, and toured all over the Cape, but, by last night my voice was gone. Not back yet. After reading symptoms of H1N1, my slight fever of a few days ago, sore throat and laryngitis must be of a different origin. R. took the day off to be my "hero"--making calls for me, doing errands and being near, if he can assist me. I write down what I need to communicate to him.
We just watched a segment of "Oprah", which featured actress MacKenzie Phillips, who's plugging her book, detailing an incestuous relationship with her father, John Phillips, the charasmatic singer from the 60's group, "The Mama's and Papa's". Very revealing look at their complex, drug induced intimacy...riviting interview. MacKenzie wants to bring incest "out" to be examined, not judged...much more prevalent than one thinks in our society.
