The problem with watching shows like House—which, ironically, is what 老婆 occupies her time off with now—you expect the same level of ability from your own health care professional, or at least a modicum thereof. And the local Kaiser department store sure ain’t Princeton-Plainsboro: regular physician diagnoses a persistent cough as allergies, and prescribes Zyrtec; two days later it’s still there so we return for a second opinion from someone else (Doctor “Do”, I’m not kidding), who says it’s bronchitis. Any pre-med dropout with a BlackBerry and Wikipedia access can read that antihistamines thicken the mucus she’s been trying to expel all this time. This must’ve been before the half-hour mark, when the gang from pathology realizes they fucked up?

It’s snowing ash from the nearby wildfires, and I stupidly ran this morning. Good thing I‘m not on Kaiser.
