Yesterday my office mate Light Bright was sneezing and
blowing her nose so much, I was sure I wouldn’t find her at work today. Yet there she was this morning, sneezing and
blowing her nose. “It’s allergies,” she assured me. A doctor we work with had his doubts, but she
was certain. However, when her allergy pills were not kicking in, she took some
cold medicine and did start to feel better. “Maybe it’s a cold,” she conceded, but
soon she was back to thinking it was just allergies. Light Bright asked a
coworker who does the pollen count if there was an elevated level of anything
out there, but she said no, nothing is really out there right now since we have
had some hard freezes. She said, “Lots of colds happen right after
Thanksgiving, since people get together,” and I said, “Oh yeah, you took a
plane flight home, didn’t you?” and then our coworker was sure it was a virus.
Later the doctor came by, and Light Bright told him that our coworker had
confirmed it was a virus. The doctor said, “If you search online, you can find
my CV, and then you’ll see that I graduated from medical school.” Doesn’t
everyone get a second opinion on medical problems from a pollen counter?
