1 Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. 2  Some people also may have vomiting and diarrhea. 3  People may be infected with the flu, and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.
A frequently cited condition is stable. Typically, stable is not a condition on its own; it is usually a qualifier applied to an aforementioned condition. It is commonly used to denote conditions where a patient has a favorable prognosis or stable vital signs.he use of such condition terminology in the U.S. media has increased since the passing of the HIPAA in 1996. Concern for patient privacy and desire to avoid litigation associated with its breach have prompted doctors and hospitals to use these terms as an alternative to disclosing specific medical conditions.
Examples of these are stable which means the condition is not changing and does not have implications for the future, guarded, which probably should only be used on soap operas, and critical but stable. Seriously, try not to worry about the occasionally confusing nature of these terms.
