of bed bugs and bronchi

story one -

kristin thought we had bed bugs. thankfully, she was wrong. the er doc explained the massive welts on her leg were caused by poison something and lady bug, the bed bug sniffing dog, confirmed that we are bed bug free. that's right - a bed bug sniffing dog came to our house and gave us the "all clear." her determination came at the perfect time because kristin was about to shell out mega-bucks to have the house heated to 140 degrees to kill the suckers.

story two -

i somehow caught a case of bronchitis. i finished my z-pak, but i still have a wicked cough, sweats and back pain, so i went back to the doctor. i saw a resident whose final diagnosis - after reading my chart that lists the ulcer i had in 2002 as a result of too much advil - was acid reflux. thank god the attending intervened and ordered a chest x-ray.
