When my wife’s GP diagnosed swine flu I queried it, because she did not have a raised temperature, which I understood from the NHS pamphlet was an essential symptom. His reply was - Quote: You state she did not have a raised temperature at the time but this is not uncommon in older patients. Unquote: (My wife was aged 77). If her GP is right, why has the NHS not published this problem more widely? After a month, the GP decided it was not swine flu, and a three weeks later my wife died of, among other things, aorta aneurysms (both AAA & TAA) and kidney failure.
