Bedside manner

I went to the doctor today because I have a rash. (Actually, I went to the doctor because Victor's bothered by the fact that I've had a rash for six months and it is spreading but I haven't done anything about it. Role reversal.)

Anyway, when I showed the doctor the rash, she wrinkled her nose and said "Ew, that's weird."

Reminds me of the time I developed contact dermatitis from my wristwatch. (Remember those stupid cheap Swatches? I had one with an exposed battery.) After a few months I had a crusting rash, and I showed it to a nurse with whom I worked. He said "Oh, gross!"

The doctor wasn't totally unhelpful; she prescribed something I need to go back and pick up when the pharmancy isn't a total freaking zoo and took some blood to test for Lyme disease. (Which it better not be, because I don't want to have to admit that Victor was right in making me go.)

One of the many things they tested Liz for a couple of months ago was Lyme. I've known a couple of people who had it, apparently it's more common than I realized.

It’s nearly impossible to find educated people in this particular subject, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
