Dr. Randy Goodwin, Section Chief of Infectious Diseases at Middlesex Hospital, is the guest on the next edition of the health-information radio program — Healthline. Dr. Goodwin will discuss the causes, symptoms, and treatment of influenza and how the upcoming flu season may impact you.
Flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe. On average, 5% to 20% of the American population gets the flu and more than 200,000 are hospitalized from complications. Unlike other other respiratory illnesses such as the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in many people.
Healthline is produced by the Middletown Health Department and can be heard Saturday, October 1, at 3:15 a.m., 12:15 p.m., and 5:15 p.m. on WIHS 104.9 FM and “on-demand” at cnxradio.com.
