Doctors Find Functional Solutions As Flu Rates Increase
Dr. Mike Mohrman is the Chief Medical Officer at Neighborhood Health Clinic, he says believing that we will see more influenza diagnoses because of the cold weather is a misconception. You get influenza from contact with other people.
Dr. Mohrman says he gets plenty of calls from patients describing their symptoms and if it’s flu season he adds some doctors will diagnose over the phone. Though that’s not what you learn in medical school, it can prevent infected patients from leaving their house and potentially spreading the virus.
