Fair enough.
But, and I'm not having a go at you or anyone who's working on this hotline, it's not your fault, you're providing a service - so hats off.
How can anyone, especially (and I assume) someone not from a medical background accurately give a diagnosis, especially a diagnosis over the phone.
Also if you suspect they have "a" flu. Will you automatically prescribe the anti-viral? or will you based on their age and fitness tell them to just to ride it out, as millions do each year?
