Abstract

CRNA Marid didn’t feel well this morning. His head was pounding, his joints were aching, and he had a fever. He diagnosed the cause as the flu his little daughter had brought home from kindergarten. Ever since she had been going to school, his immune system had to deal with bugs that it had long since forgotten. “That’s just how it goes when you get older. Or maybe I have a type of B cell Alzheimer’s.” He had to grin at the thought. At least the flu hadn’t taken away his sense of humor. So maybe he wasn’t that sick after all.
