Piggy Flu BEWARE!!!

Oh no! Poor old Roger. Overnight he became really sick, roaring temperature and coughing! Tried to find a doctor or a medical centre. No luck it was Sunday. So off to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Emergency Room. ER!!!! Nothing like we expected. Quiet, clean, friendly and super organised.

4hrs later, after Xrays and blood tests - the diagnosis not Piggy Flu but bronchitis. Paid the bill ($3,000) and set off to search for a pharmacist. For the rest of our holiday Roger enjoyed looking out of the window of our hotel room. Thank goodness we got an internet special and such a lovely hotel.
