They also need to give more practical guidelines than washing hands, although this is important. What I don't get is not testing people who come in with all the symptoms. <br />I heard a similar story where a girl almost died of e-coli even though her parents told the hospital that they had bought and eaten the recalled beef. They kept sending the girl home and refusing to test her for the virus. She ended up almost dying of kidney failure even though her parents had been demanding that she be tested the entire time.<br />If think you or your child is that sick, dont let them talk you out of testing or procedures.<br />Keep up with the vitamin D3 too, it definitely can't hurt.Stacy K. https://www.blogger.com/profile/06853574441003653244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-52879680207023212782009-09-02T21:22:23.281+04:002009-09-02T21:22:23.281+04:00To add to this my husband works in SQU and he deal...To add to this my husband works in SQU and he deals with students.

By all ward doors and critical other doors (entrance etc) there are liquid alcohol based pump hand gels – and in the ward by the beds. Without exception all visitors were using them voluntarily . I appreciate cultures are different (esp re that phrase alcohol hand gel) but every bit helps and it’s probably a very cost effective preventative measure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-82693358523136829822009-09-02T12:15:24.704+04:002009-09-02T12:15:24.704+04:00Dear YF, Insha'allah your children get better....Dear YF, Insha'allah your children get better.

Thank you so very much for keeping ...Salaam Nadia,<br /><br />Thank you so very much for keeping the people informed to the best of your knowledge, someone needs to!. I can personally attest to what you are saying. <br /><br />Seven days ago my son woke up one morning with a fever of 40C, I was terrified, he is only 2, and he has never had such a high fever. My initial fear was H1N1 so I had my husband bring him to the Dr. that morning to give us some answers. We were told he had the stomach flu and given three medications including an antibiotic. I was so angry when my husband brought him back with the diagnosis of "stomach" flu. We all eat the same thing, no one is suffering. I wasn't convinced. My sons condition was not improving after 24 hours of medicine so I had my husband bring him back. This time we were told to give him a lukewarm bath to bring his fever down etc. My son was back home, high fever and not himself. I kept reading about H1N1 and told my husband finally to demand he be tested for it. We were then referred to the Sultan Qaboos hospital after almost 5 excruciating days, where one day he seemed to be improving, and then the next hour his fever shot up and he retreated to bed. <br />I went to Sultan Qaboos hosp. myself with all three kids and I demanded they do the swab but was turned down because it was "expired". Livid wouldn't even describe my outrage. The hospital was literally PACKED with sick children. The womens side had at least 40-50 women each with a child in their arms. <br />We were ofhandedly prescribed Tamiflu and told to give it to all our children. By Allah's mercy and Dua'a my son is doing better, although he still has a ferocious cough. <br />I am still not satisfied. I am angry that not enough was done in the beginning and that we have been poorly informed. My son could have died.<br />We are all avoiding the masjid and public places. Everyone should do the same. H1N1 affects each person differently, and you would not want to fall victim of the system and not get properly treated. My sons are still not at 100% as I mentioned they still have a cough. They will stay home the rest of Ramadan just in case they really do have H1N1.<br />Also please tell your readers that it is SO true about the Drs. This was my first experience at the hospital and I was sooo shocked. As the Dr. was giving us a consultation, another Dr. walks in and informs "our" Dr. that Dr. "so-and-so" just died, not sure the reason, but potentially H1N1. WTH??<br />I nearly fainted. My only solace is in Allah the Merciful.<br />Everyone must take precautions, be your own advocate. We must not pretend that everything is okay. Salalah is a place where family stays together all the time, eat, sleep etc the flu can easily spread.<br /><br />My humble advice: STAY HOME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE<br />please make dua'a for the countless children who are suffering.<br />your sister<br />YFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088783565849701867.post-17297008153377981482009-09-02T11:58:57.526+04:002009-09-02T11:58:57.526+04:00I was there when the DG said all the cases in the ...I was there when the DG said all the cases in the ICU came late!!!!!!!<br /><br />I was about to shout and say you are lying!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
