Yet another stomach bug victim
The last 36 hours have been Hell. I was on my back all day yesterday with all sorts of Pepto symptoms. Today I made it through a half-day of work before having to head home. Ugh.
At least it’s not just me. We’re reporting that hundreds of people are visiting emergency rooms with gastric distress.
About 800 people showed up in ERs complaining of gastrointestinal woes the week of Feb. 3 as well as the week of Feb. 10, according to the system, run by the Boston Public Health Commission. A similar wave of suffering appears to be sweeping the city this week. That’s more than double the number of patients seen, for example, the week of Dec. 9.
