Chapter: Comic
It seems like whenever I go see a doctor, they either know what’s wrong with me in about 30 seconds or years go by and they have no idea whats going on. There’s never any TV show middle ground where a full hour (minus commercial breaks) is needed to uncover the source of the mysterious horns protruding from my elbows. The horns do come in handy when I’m in a crowd at a rock show. So I guess it’s not all bad.

He ate the fish, didn’t he.
Change my order to the soup.
Aww..no special?
I know what it’s like to be misdiagnosed. Then again, the doctor has noticed my heart rate is abnormally high. I’m 23 and I need to see a cardiologist. Can it get any worse? (BTW, I was told to see one as well as I needed to get medicine for a sinus infection. My sinus passages are smaller than normal.)
I got shunted from doctor to doctor for ten years as each one came up with a different diagnosis that never quite explained my symptoms. Most of them figured it was a psychosomatic problem. Ten years later, I finally see a neurologist who knows what he’s talking about and BAM! Diagnosis that explains all my symptoms, tests that confirm the diagnosis.
I kind of wish I still talked to the teachers from my childhood just so I could say, “I told you so.”
Oh, so that is what happens when you spend too much time on twitter.
