Random Memorial for Monday 12/12/11

Gone but not forgotten: swallowing without the sensation of there being razor blades in my throat.

I'm on Day 4 of this particular unpleasantness. The pharmacy minute-clinic personnel assured me (after waiting two-score-dozen minutes to see them) that it was a viral sore throat and not strep (unless their results say something otherwise tomorrow). However, I can almost guarantee I'll wake up in the morning with this illness having passed me by. Why? Because I had scheduled this past Friday and Monday off of work to make a long pre-holiday weekend, and I return to work tomorrow. So of course I'll be better in the morn ...

Days of healthy otolaryngological experiences, you are sorely [pun intended] missed.

IT'S THE OLDEST MEDICAL PROFESSION IN THE US (LIKE HOOKING, NO?):

I MEANT METAPHORICALLY, NOT LITERALLY:
