Your child’s health/well-being is more important than any sense of politesse you may feel vis-à-vis your doctor

My son may or may not have what could be a serious medical condition. After a number of tests – over a period of years – the results have been inconclusive. So we were sent to one of the top experts in this area. The problem: When we went to see him, he mumbled, and sometimes even covered his hand with his mouth when he talked.

Truth is, though I have no issues with my hearing, I’ve always had an issue with hearing people, if that makes any sense at all.It’s partly because I’m tall, if it’s possible to make even less sense. I go to a venue, right? Like, say, a holiday party I went to recently. The din is deafening, music plus everyone talking at top volume .

And since I’m a full head taller than the people I’m talking to, I cannot fathom a syllable of their utterances. Maybe they are revealing long-lost truths that eluded even Einstein vis-à-vis the Unified Field Theory. Maybe they’re discussing the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Loss of smell may be a sign of COVID-19 infection: doctors' groupsTwo British doctors' groups say loss of smell is a possible symptom of COVID-19 and should trigger quarantines. Just like half the colds I've had.... Interesting. It could also be a sign of someone plugging their noses. This seems to be reaching. It could be that scientists really do not know what the hell the virus is capable of to date. I would rather hear they are searching, but do not have the answers. Implied? Or allergies. Duh!
