So, a little girl has died, after swine flu was diagnosed, by a paramedic. She, in fact, had meningococcal septicaemia.
Yes, meningitis is missed sometimes, and it's awful every time. But, from what I have read, this little girl was not given much of a chance to be properly assessed.
Children will still get meningitis despite the pig death. Shouldn't they be assessed and treated in the same way they always did? Is this going to happen again? The SWINE LINE - non medical people prescribing medication after someone ticks some boxes on a computer detailing non specific symptoms - seems to indicate that it would be suprising if it does not.
