I hate going to the doctor.

[rabidsamfan]

Not that he's a bad doctor or anything like that. And not that I mind being a guinea pig for medical students (although the one I met yesterday looked all of sixteen*.) It's just that the symptom which drives me to the clinic after annoying me for days always frickin' disappears for the time that I'm at the doctor's office, and then shows up again in spades two hours after I get home again.

And then it calls up friends. Today I'm running a fever and getting dizzy spells. Did either of those things bother me yesterday at the clinic? No.

*sigh* Fortunately, my co-workers would rather I stayed home and didn't share so I have been sent home and told NOT to come in tomorrow. Now all I need is a delivery of chicken soup...

*I have to give Doogie a little credit though. He suggested swimmer's ear as a possible cause of the earache (in spite of the accompanying sore throat and post nasal drip) and I decided to go ahead and use my Aura-dry on the worst ear this morning and it seems to have helped some.

Maybe your symptoms are afraid of the doctor. ;) There are stories about kids who don't feel toothache anymore when they are in dentist's waiting room. :P

*hugs* and do get better :)

{sympathetic smile} At least I like your co-workers' attitude. Yes, stay home, don't give it to anyone else, and get better quickly. {hopeful SMILE}

A man has many good apples,
and giveth his neighbor none.
He shall have none of my apples
when his apples are done.

A man has many good measles,
and giveth his neighbor none.
He shall have none of my measles
when his measles are done.

The tune is rather trite, but I do enjoy that song's sentiments. {REALLY BIG GRIN, wink}

Ah, yes. I call it "auto-shop syndrome". Their symptoms always disappear when you haul them into the shop too.
