Bad Idea?
Meh, I think not. Besides, how else would we decipher between the four types of rare Amazonian gastrointestinal diseases we're sure we've contracted from the public bathroom three months ago at that random rest stop with the suspiciously outdated chip section? Or the rash turned deadly hives turned actually deadly snake bite that guarantees us a mere three hours to live? Or how about that nagging toe pain, the one that should have disappeared two weeks ago as a casual plantar fasciitis - resolved with rest and better arch support - but definitely feels more like sesamoiditis and will very likely require steroid injections and surgery we can't afford. Oh, and yes definitely sign us up for that weekly newsletter full of anxiety so we can torture ourselves with medical diagnoses that will deplete our lifespans by hours and days (if we're lucky) since, let's be honest, we probably won't want to live through them anyway considering what WebMD has in store for us. Enjoy!

Loved your very funny column. And I'm sure I have all those things, and more!
ReplyDeleteLast night your dad (who has been doing a lot of heavy lifting of late) told me his knee hurt-and that he was concerned it was a blood clot! (I did NOT laugh) even when he told me very seriously that it had happened to a friend of his and maybe he should see a doctor. He declined the tylenol I offered him. Meh.
