yesterday i forgot a weird thing a doctor said. a not-infrequent occurrence in the emergency room is this: panicky parents bring their child in because he or she was sick yesterday. today, the day of the visit, the child is fine.

and a physician says, "The patient is asymptomatic here, so I choose to treat him symptomatically."

now - what does that mean? is that a goof on the part of the dictator? or is it a strange-sounding but actually-normal way of saying that she's just not going to do anything?

i'm not sure about that one.

anyway. kara says i'm a freak for even being awake at this hour on a day off.
