Fever

Hi Julie!
You know in Sweden patients with blood cancer and fever have a fast track at the ER (like heart patients). I have been examinated, got antibiotic treatment started and isolated in bed in a ward within two hours. The "normal" waiting time in our ER:s is about 8 hours (terrible).

It is obviously very difficult to find infections so they start with broad spectrum antibiotics and they have been effective.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
