Three men, two young working partners and their leader, stand around a barrel with a warming fire.
The leader asks: "There is a fire in the house, you can get out one person only, who will that be?"
After thinking it over the first answers that since he has a family he safes his young son.
And the second then says, he thinks of the place where he grew up, an orphanage. He goes by himself.
The leader: "I see a fire on top of a candle. I stick the candle in my son´s birthday cake, watch him how he blows it out and make a wish, take his hand and lead him into the other room where all his pressies are."
Well, without the last answer.. would you´ve had that wonderful approach?
Me, not, but I hope to keep this in mind!
Cause who knows, one day I might have another job-interview and get such a trick-question.
Not too soon, though.
After the desaster with citralopram, that cost me 8 wonderful summer months the blast trauma followed.
The first ear-specialist wanted to subscribe cortisone.
I told him that once I got eye-drops with this medication and the first layer of my conjunctiva "dissolved".
He subscibed me gingko. 4 weeks went by, nothing.
His colleague (I wanted to the first one, but, alas!), thought it is a difference if you put cortisone as fluid in your eye or swallow tablets.
I got tired, lost heaps of hair, my face swoll to the size of a football - cortisone does not work for me, I knew it.
So, 7 weeks later my ear is still swooshing, I can not hear from which direction a sound comes etc.
I am sick and tired of doctors who do not believe me!
I am so unfit, I gained weight, it´s depressing, really.
Before I was so fit as never in my life before...
Yesterday I went to see them again.
Two more tests - now I not only have a "really small head", no, they had to use kids´ equipment for my ear canal, well, I see it with humor - better this than being Dumbo!. Plus I am "real tough", I was told :-).
Result: I have to go to the clinic, maybe they can help - what a "passage"!
But, crazy: My health insurance called to see how I am doing. After I told they wished me to get well soon and "we call you in January then again".
At least with them I am lucky - my therapist knows different behaviour from other insurances.
Well, I couldn´t resist:
What do you think about the Mars-mission?
Lion of the day: (I have to) FIGHT!

I have to wonder how much space exploring we done. But I find it interesting.
Coffee is on
Thank you, William, I very much hope so, too!
Oh, Grace, I so hope to make it happen without punishment from the insurance!
Dora, hmm. I´m not sure. So much money is put into it...
Having worked on diagnosing problems in computers for years I am in awe of what we ask doctors to do. Bodies are much more complex than computers.
That is sadly true...
