Cuts, Burns and Flu. What can we expect this Christmas?
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Christmas, among its joy and happiness, is also a time of health concern. Early next week we are set to reach the peak numbers of what is a severe Flu season. More than 1,000 people expected to spend Christmas in hospital as a result of the flu.
As well as this, we must account for lesser injuries like cuts and burns commonly associated with the festive period.
Dr Diarmuid Quinlan, GP and Medical Director of the Irish College of General Practitioners joined Pat on the show this morning.
