  Maybe i can dig out the MRI scans of my heart, so you can see the scar tissue that an influenza infection left.

    Friendly reminder that even if flu was the direct cause of you having scar tissue on the heart, it's a single data point rather than a great citation. edit: good citation provided by twic below

        Excellent source, thanks! I wasn't the one who asked for citation, and didn't mean to imply that you were wrong at all in my comment just that one patient's example isn't a good way of proving something about a disease. I've edited out the quick CDC quote of my last comment since your citation is much better.
