When it comes to your health, it is important to keep a sense of perspective.
A case is more interesting than a bout.
A malady is more interesting than a condition.
An affliction is more interesting than a disease.
And a syndrome is more interesting than anything else.
When you have a syndrome, doctors pay attention.
They bring in the most expensive equipment.
And run the most grueling and painful tests.
The medication is by far the most dangerous.
Sometimes, it even glows.
But what you have is a simple cold.
Get the fuck out of bed and stop whining.
