| Shana, don't look now, but it's time for another
exciting hpathy quiz!
Who's the poor patient this time?
You!
Oh no! Not me again! I don't want to be the
patient anymore! I want to be the one who gets to say, "Mom,
Dr. B wants to know what's taking you so long!"
Granted, that IS an important post, Shana; but, think about it,
the whole world will benefit by hearing your tale of woe.
If you say so. Do I have a choice?
No.
Alright, then. Ahem! It all started in a
5,000 watt radio station in Fresno, California....
Cut! Cut!!!! Cut!!!!! Shana, excuse me, but that's Ted
Baxter's acceptance speech from The Mary Tyler Moore Show!
So it is, how silly of me! What I meant to
say was: It all started at "Career Day" at Mastery Charter
School.
That's more like it! Now, as I'm sure you'll remember, when I dropped
you off at school in the morning, you were fine. But when I picked
you up in the afternoon, it was quite apparent that you had a headache!
Such an unusual sight to see you slumped over in the car, supporting
your head with your hand, it was distressing to me! I asked you,
"What does the pain feel like? For instance, is it a sharp
pain? A dull pain? Or does it cut like a knife?" And you said....
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
And I said, "N' n' n' n' n' n' n' no, pick one!" and
you said, "sharp pain." So, noting also that it was on
the left side, I gave you Bryonia!
And it didn't work.
I was very disappointed! Bryonia has always worked so well for
you in left-sided headaches with sharp pain, I was really at a loss
until you started telling me how cold it was in Mr. Stundon's room!
The airconditioner was on full blast, and
I have him again for algebra next year! In fact the whole school
was cold!
Stupid school! Well, then I knew exactly what the remedy was. Do
you see how important etiology is, Shana?
Huh?
Never mind. So, I asked you if you had ______________ 30C in your
remedy kit.
All I had was 200C.
It seemed a bit much, but, you have to go with what you have, right?
Right, and needless to say, it worked! Really
fast too.
The potency turned out to be perfect. And we repeated the exact
same remedy a few hours later when your headache came back and it
worked again! So listen, gang, what do you think it was? Write to
me and let me know (LEWRA@aol.com),
the answer will be in next month's ezine.
