I ask because one of my patients was surprised when I said I never, in fact, have been struck down by influenza. It can't be *that* common, otherwise we'd label it "the common flu" like we toss around "the common cold", no?

When I was a kid, I SUFFERED through the flu. It started with the flu and ended with two weeks in the hospital.
