Roommate is on his Pediatrics rotation right now, and while all you readers out there may think it’s all fun and games, think again.

Y’see, any illnesses that Kids have are immediately passed on to Roommate, unless he’s fortunate enough to have gotten it while younger. Apparently neither he nor I were lucky enough, because we’ve both been moribund since Saturday. I suppose the only thanks I have is that my cold doesn’t include a sore throat (I hate you, sore throats).

Have fun diagnosing! I’m running a fever, chills, productive cough, and horrendous nasal discharge. I’m staying home from work tomorrow, which is the adult version of playing hooky.
