I was 100% sure I had a cold. The doctor said it's probably H1N1

Why didn't he do the quickie flu test?

he said they have so many cases now, that it's only done in case there is complications and you land in hospital. I heard this from several sources, including the co-worker who had it last week.
The quick test only identifies influenza. It can't tell if it's type A or B or the strain. Odds are his office doesn't have the ability to do the test on site. One advantage of my doctor's office. They can do a lot of lab work like that in 15 minutes and even do x-rays.
