I don't know about Dallas Presbyterian, but in my little ER in BFE west Texas gastroenteritis has been the number one diagnosis for the past 2 weeks.

It happens every year: 3 weeks after school starts there's a respiratory virus epidemic, and 6-8 weeks after schools starts there's a gastroenteritis epidemic. Happens everywhere, every school year.

It fer dang sure ain't Ebola.
