How Sick is Sick?
I am in my second week of having a sore throat and cough. Last week I went to the doctor. I’m one of those people who tends to put off making a doctor’s appointment (it had been 2 years since I last went to the doctor) but I was feeling miserable enough to be proactive and seek medical advice. To make a long story short, I was told that I "wasn’t sick". Yes, I had a sore throat and yes, I had a cough but to go home and take pain relievers and cough syrup and to make a follow-up appointment if I don’t feel better in another week. I’d never been so disappointed in my life that I wasn’t sick. So here I am, still feeling miserable and pondering "how sick is sick"?
