Last Speaker:  Allen G. Reuben, M.D.

 

Dr. ReubenDr. Allen G. Reuben is widely recognized and highly respected in the field of infectious disease, having consistently delivered quality care to the Dallas area since 1990. He is a true "doctor's doctor" who enjoys interacting with patients in a hospital setting, as well as in his office. Dr. Reuben spoke to us about H1N1 and how to combat it and who should get the vaccine. 

 

It was interesting to find out that the most severe cases were found in those under 49 (but not really infants) and that older people were not as likely to get the flu. It is thought that they have antibodies from the 1958 flu (I should have been born earlier!). 

 

Dr. Reuben wanted us to know that while most deaths associated with the flu were cases that had underlying health issues such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, respiratory issues, pregnancy, etc. If you are healthy, in most cases you have nothing to worry about. Although, he suggested everyone who gets the flu demand to be given Tamiflu. Some of the people that died from H1N1 without underlying diseases might have been saved if they had started on Tamiflu earlier. Even though the CDC does not recommend giving Tamiflu to people who are not in high risk categories, Dr. Reuben suggests you demand Tamiflu. He also said it you should still consider getting the H1N1 flu shot as the flu season is not even half way over.

Raffle:  Every Week!

 

 

Show me the money!  We will have a “BIG JACKPOT” raffle drawing every week.  Here are the rules.

 

-          The drawing will be held every week after the speaker concludes.  Tickets can be bought up to that time.  $1 for 1 ticket, $5 gets 6 tickets.

-          A ticket will be drawn at the end of the meeting.

-          But the weekly winner, will not automatically get the jackpot.  To ensure we have a BIG JACKPOT, we then ask the winner to draw the “winning card” from a standard deck of 52 cards.  If they pull the “winning card”, they get the BIG JACKPOT.

-          How do we determine the “winning card”?  After the jackpot is won, we will draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards.  That card becomes the “winning card.”  It is reinserted into the deck.

-          If a non-winning card is drawn by the weekly drawing winner, that card is discarded.  This means the odds of drawing the “winning card” will improve every week as the BIG JACKPOT grows.

-          The jackpot is rolled over every week until the “winning card” is drawn.

-          The value of the BIG JACKPOT will be reported in the newsletter.

-       Half of the winning pot goes to the Addison Midday Rotary Foundation.
