Trust me, I know the "I hate sickess" feeling. I've been sick with the same thing since before Christmas... Thankfully it seems to be "dying down" now...

And while we're on the topic of illnesses, I have not heard anything from Nicothodes after that thread over a problem with carpal tunnel, tendonitis, or bone erosion. I do, though hope that Nico's on the mend.
Nico started a thread about her birthday entitled "15 Years(and a day) of Annoyance." However, if she actually had the problems she mentioned, like bone erosion, then she still has not recovered completely. I think she is feeling better than before, though.

I just finished playing basketball with someone who was becoming sick, and quite frankly the hacking and coughing sounded too painful to think about. Hence, I ignored his body's cries for help and beat him soundly anyway.

I have a very resilient immune system, so I rarely get sick. When I do, though, I get hit by it hard.

By the way, have any of you ever heard of the '24-hour flu'? Because I can't remember what the technical term for it was. All I remember is how nasty it was.

It's a euphemism for gastroenteritis, and is not related to the influenza virus.

Ah. So it's the stomach flu. I knew it wasn't related to influenza, but I didn't have much to go on.

Wait until you try college health care centers. They're great at not being able to diagnose illnesses. All I got was my cold wasn't the flu strain going around that year. I doubt that the antibiotics did any good.

I had a friend with a broken ankle that was told it was just a sprain. He refused to leave until he was x-rayed. They were so shocked that it really was broken.

Edit - I forgot to mention this was a school with a teaching hospital. Training the next generation of quacks.

I know what you mean. I tried to go there a half an hour before they opened because my eye was completely swollen up and nasty and they wouldn't let me in. And there were at least 20 people already in there. What a bunch of jerks.

Aye. I think I'm pretty much the same way.

Try telling my doctor that...I think he has shares in the pharmacy next to the clinic

Recurrent and severe bouts of tonsillitis are a pretty good reason for a tonsillectomy, really. :P

Good idea. You are more likely to get something new than get cured. Doctors are still learning that you are supposed to wash your hands between patients.

I had a dentist that always cleaned his hands... but never wore gloves! My mouth would be held open by one of those horrible devices and I would be like, "On't ou ant a ut on son govs?" He wouldn't understand, and now I can't forget that horrible soapy/salty taste. I can rest easy knowing that was a long time ago, he was really old, and he's probably dead now.

Mr. Garderner,

I don't like the taste of rubber in my mouth either. PRetty much a no win situation for me.

I also recall seeing a program on this fellow whose invention was a hip dispenser for hand wash that doctors could wear. Wonder what happened with that?
