Doctor (Doctor!) Mr. M. D.--

   Can you tell me/What's ailing me?

     So, we went to what now calls itself "Urgent Care," but is still the same doc-inna-box, where strugglin' young doctors (and a few older ones) work in volume and pass the savings on to you.  If anybody knows what kind of ickinesses and sicknesses are moving up the Top-40 Aliments charts right now, it's them.

     Old lyrics and overextended metaphors aside, it's "Dx: Vertigo," for me and I've been issued some anti-tumbling pills, a fistful of Amoxicillin for luck and a gentle suggestion that the Tincture of Time be left to do its work; so either I'm irretrievably doomed or it's nothing much and, absent any compelling evidence for the first, I'll go with the second.

Good luck. I hope you feel better soon, and that you don't have too many people trying to "help" diagnose and treat you through the 'Tubes this time. :)

Don't become a zombie. It'd be inconvenient all around. At least wait until after the convention.

You have a decent handle on the situation. I would suggest better outcomes on a regular doc over pickup docs at the ECC.

Hope you are better soon.

I'm guessing tower climbing is contra-indicated...

Drang, I rarely climb; never more than 40 pr 45 feet. We hire arcane specialists for the high work.

Paul, 'Strewth, though for the more-common herd illnesses, I think the Urgent Care gang sees more of it and may have a better feel for trends. In-depth it ain't, but neither are most flu/cold/whatevers that go around.

Hope you get well!
I have been spinning since the 26th of December. Labyrinthitis is what they say I have. Housebound now a month. Hope you get over your quickly
