Today as I promise Creed aka Jonathan and Goldenspine aka Mary that I will go to see the doctor about my right ear pain this morning. As it so happen that the Odegaard undergraduate library with Odegaard computing commons today were open at ten o'clock A.M. so it gave me sometimes to sees the doctor. And when I arrived at Hall Health Primary Care Center at the University of Washington Seattle there it was an nine o'clock A.M. opening so I took it and see a doctor named Anne or maybe Anna. Anyhow what so amusing about the visit is what she say when she make her diagnostic opinion which she make in her instruction for me. This is a direct quotes from the instruction page print out "Instructions related to today's visit Your right ear pain is most likely from fluid collection behind the ear drum. This fluid is relieved by controlling nasal congestion. You can use a decongestant to try up fluid, like suafed, as needed. Also consider taking claritin, a pill daily for allergy symptoms, if you are developing facial itching, sneezing, nasal congestion from exposure to things like plants and animals. Please return at once for ear pain, drainage from your ear, headache, fever, neck stiffness, rash." What so amusing to me is the word usage by the doctor she try to using the word dry up instead she using the word try up. Also what so amusing to me is the word likely and she tell me she think it is from fluid collection which make me question her certainty of her diagnostic opinion. And whatever the case might be I already got the medicine now still unsure if this will work or not certainly this does not bring me much confidence of the medical communities in general after all we are living in the 21st century now and medicine has been around with us for a long time certainly we can have certainty now about what ills us but still today the doctor seen not about to find out for certain what wrong with us. Oh well back to trials and error now...... Current Mood: amused
