i still think its strep. go see a real doctor, not some goob on goEMAW.com who thinks he knows this crap cuz he read about it on the internet.
hey fyi i dropped your check (combined with what DoomCatz owes you) in the mail today.  sorry it took so long, but i think i've had strep or something for a while.  anyways i'm better now so go cats.

mo money mo prollems, i always say. hope that yoga move rick daris gave you for your ear helps clear up your strep throat, friend. go cats.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

I had a weird inner-ear caused vertigo several years ago and had to do something just like this but completely different and guess what?  It worked.

Awhile back (maybe mid to late 90s?) my ears were all clogged up and I couldn't hear anything. Went to the clinic. They had me take one 24-hour ZyrtecD for 10 days, but take 2 of them on the first day. I think Zyrtec was new at the time, and I got 12 pills from the doctor's free sample closet. Good luck with your ear clog. I hate it when they're clogged so bad you can hear your heart beating.

My issue actually prevented me from doing so.  Weights and stuff don't mix with lack of balance.

Let's say a doctor has another doctor cover for them for a few shifts.  Ok?  And this substitute doc is covering an area of medicine they know nothing about.  Mkay?  Then the sub doc happens to be consulted while on duty and can't fulfill their obligation to provide said service.  What should happen to these two so called professionals?

This scenario happened the other day where Mrs. Bf works.  She was trying to setup a procedure to be done on a patient.  She calls the specialist on duty that was covering for the regular guy.  He say "oh I can't do blah blah procedure because I specialize in a completely diff area lol." (but he will sit there and collect the $100/hr pay check whilst doing nothing!? WTF?)

Meanwhile Mrs. Bf MD has to figure out what to do with a patient that was transferred in whom she accepted because she thought this particular procedure would be covered.

This type of thing seems to be happening on the reg at this particular establishment.  No Rick it involves a penis (the patient's, not mine) that just will not accept a foley catheter and a bladder in extreme need of being emptied.

i assume you live in some hayseed community in western kansas where the patient is lucky to be seeing anyone with an MD next to their name.  it's not like the hospital GM can force 2 of each specialists to come live/work in hayseed, KS, population Shitfire
