The Doctor Is In

Well, not really. After waiting 45 minutes in the examining room I was really starting to wonder if I was going to be seen. All that waiting for just a little peace of mind that involved the doctor informing me that no, it wasn't malaria and no, it wasn't bird flu, and no, I didn't need to be quarantined. In fact, I didn't even need medicine. My body is perfectly healthy and my immune system was effectively fighting off some sort of virus and she shooed me out of the room faster than a speeding bullet! Sure enough, my sore throat disappeared that day. I suppose I should be thankful, but a little sympathy would have been nice.
