Chapter: Comic
Fortunately I have never had anything wrong with me that has been surprising to a doctor. In fact I believe it’s always been the exact opposite. Even when I am in immediate excruciating pain my doctors have always just barely noticed I was there. I guess ultimately that’s what you want in a doctor. If they point and say “What is that?!” hopefully it’s because you are filming a TV show.
Today’s Biff spins around.
don’t know if it’s strange, but all i keep thinking is, what is under that shirt, if he/she’s a stick figure?
A thinner stick.
I have, once, had a doctor ask me how I was able to walk. I’m not just flat-footed. I’m very flat-footed. I have a triangular footprint. Arch-supported shoes hurt my feet. (As if that wasn’t enough, I have to wear clown shoes — extra wide 11.5 US. I’m only 5’9″. Shoes of that kind without arch support in this day and age?)
I have had something the doctor couldn’t recognize. I was just given antibiotics for it and sent home.
I hardly ever get sick, but when I do, I make sure to do it right. Shivers, fever, vomiting, and pneumonia in a lung all at the same time. Day two, healthy as a particularly healthy horse, call in sick anyways.
I thought the eyes were popped out by static. Oh well.
Last summer I had pneumonia so severe I ended up in the ICU on a ventilator. Antibiotics and nebulizer treatments didn’t touch it. IV corticosteroids finally cleared it up, but slowly. A lung biopsy done after the steroids were started came back negative. They never figured out what caused it.
holy crap! it’s under the dome for reelz dis tiem! errybudy run 4 cuvur! (did anyone understand that?)
Ah, that book.
I collapsed once for no apparent reason. The doctors were utterly dumb-founded. Eventually one tried to claim it was natural and happened to everybody occasionally. Naturally, they didn’t get paid for that one.
It once took a nurse five minutes to find my pulse. Since that, I never rule out the possibility that I’ve died and no one has noticed.
I actually have died and no-ones noticed. Silly people keep thinking I’m alive for some reason.
I had some sort of problem with my gall bladder (as far as they could tell). Spent over $800 on tests trying to find the cause, and they still couldn’t figure it out. It just sorta went away on its own, apparently, though it did come back a couple of times.
It seemed to be related to a bacterial ulcer I ended up with a year later. Two weeks on acid blockers and heavy-duty antibiotics, and it hasn’t come back once since…
Now that’s what I call an I-SEE stare! 😛
dude, if you wanted a closer look, you could have just walked over here…
