Last Evening's Activities

June 10, 2005 | Life

Location: Albuquerque Regional Medical Center, which is not much like my local DHMC, in many different ways.

Diagnosis: Pharyngitis After five weeks, it had to be something.

Treatment: Bicillin L-A, 1.2 million units in a 2 cc solution. "Administer by deep, i.m. injection in the upper, outer quadrant of the buttock." Not enjoyable, trust me.

Details may follow. Summary: Much awareness of human pain and suffering, far beyond my own.

There's nothing quite like visiting an out-of-town emergency room to bring on recurrent feelings of, "Glad I live where I do."
