thatgrrrl's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- strep, strep, who's got the strep? Step right up, who's next for the strep throat? C'mon miss, what's your name? NS, that's a pretty name.... let's see, open up and say Ahhhhhh....... [peers into throat] EWWWWW!!!! What's that you said? Someone else in your house had strep throat? Oh, I don't think we even need to do a swab here, you've got pus on your tonsils and everything, we're just going to give you a prescription for the penicillin VK and the Magic Mouthwash and send you on your way. Hello, Dr.'s Office.... preventative antibiotics since two people in your house have strep throat? Why certainly, we'll call it in right now. Pediatric Dr.'s Office, can you hold please? Scene: Pharmacy pickup counter. 5 people in line. 4 staff behind the counter, filling prescriptions, checking people out, calling Medicare, and still took 26 minutes to pick up 3 prescriptions last night. Number of episodes of Jeopardy missed: 1. Scene: workplace. Number of other people who had strep last week: at least one, perhaps 2, second is unconfirmed. Scene: Chicagoland. Number of other people who currently have strep throat, 1 confirmed, TranceJen. So yeah, it's been a party around here lately. 6:30 a.m. - 2006-03-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
