If that educated asshat had made me wait 8-9 hours, woke me up, and demanded I submit to a spinal tap, I'd have gone up to 11, and MADE him eat shit!John Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-63978684292609497812010-10-29T14:51:20.798-04:002010-10-29T14:51:20.798-04:00Ahhh, doctors.

I escorted a friend of mine to the hospital one day for a fever (the flu was going around our squadron, and she had it bad). After 8 or 9 hours in the waiting room, they called us back and gave her an IV to help with the fever; she finally went to sleep for about an hour. The doctor barged in and woke her up, asked her immediately if she had a headache, and then INSISTED that she have a spinal tap to test for meningitis.<br /><br />Yeah. She told him to eat shit.ZombieCheezenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-57283045812269519062010-10-28T19:57:13.147-04:002010-10-28T19:57:13.147-04:00As for not spreading it, avoiding sharing saliver ...As for not spreading it, avoiding sharing saliver is probably a good idea, I think I got mono from underwashed cups because I got it right after a coworker came down with it.cheshirehttp://cheshire.dreamwidth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-90763174887648106182010-10-28T16:23:42.152-04:002010-10-28T16:23:42.152-04:00Anon - I've gotten that for other medical prob...Anon - I've gotten that for other medical problems. (Particularly my asthma, which started after I had whooping cough. But it's a stereotypical "fat kid disease" so clearly the whole thing with the whooping cough damaging my airway is a total red herring.)<br /><br />Mono, however, implies that someone choked back their nausea long enough to actually <i>kiss</i> my lardy lips, so it's harder to play the "you so fat" angle there.Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-70352097960971076482010-10-28T11:14:47.996-04:002010-10-28T11:14:47.996-04:00At least no one tried to tell you that you wouldn&...At least no one tried to tell you that you wouldn'tve caught mono if you were thinner. (speaking from experience...not mono in that case but adult chicken pox. i guess being too fat for the other kids to like in kindergarten caused the problem.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
