Uncomfortable...

This happened yesterday. I went to the doctor because I have a really sore throat. Only it's not flu-sore, it's sore-sore. It's also only on the right hand side, wow weird. And there might be some good advise in here somewhere... Anyway I'm just going to repeat what was said.

P.S. The Doctor looked a bit like this guy (see above)

Doctor: Hello.

Maisha: Hi.

Doctor: How are you?

Maisha: I'm fine thanks, well since the last time you saw me, I'm fine.

Doctor: Yes -looks at file- that was in 2009?

Maisha: Yes.

Doctor: Yes.

Maisha: So.

Doctor: Where are you staying now?

Maisha: In plett, I moved down from Cape Town.

Doctor: Oh you're in Cape Town?

Maisha: No.

Doctor: Ok where then?

Maisha: In Plett, I live with my parents.

Doctor: That's nice.

Maisha: Yes.

Doctor: So what is wrong with you?
Maisha: I have a sore throat, only it's JUST the right side and it only hurts when I swallow and it hurts in my ear, but it's not flu-sore, it's just sore-sore, only it's not sore now because this morning I woke up really early and went to the pharmacy to get a decent painkiller, which I took about thirty minutes ago. Previously I had taken Panado, but it doesn't really work. It's not really the GP's choice is it?

Doctor: No.

Maisha: Thought so.

Doctor: -does usual check, looks down throat-You have an ulcer.

Maisha: Gross.

Doctor: Yes. It is quite.

Maisha: Yes.

Doctor: It's really big and it's all the way at the back of your throat at the very base of your tongue, it's why your tonsil and glands are swollen.

Maisha: Oh.

Doctor: Yes.

Maisha: How do you get an ulcer there?

Doctor: Well you get them from smoking?

Maisha: I don't smoke.

Doctor: From having a weak immune system.

Maisha: I have a strong immune system.

Doctor: From drinking very hot beverages?

Maisha: I don't drink hot beverages, they burn my tongue and I don't like that.

Doctor: You might have been scratched by a fish bone?

Maisha: I don't eat fish.

Doctor: Well you should it's good for you.

Maisha Ok I will

Doctor: Good.

Maisha: But what do you think it could be from?

Doctor: Well what else have you been putting in your mouth?
Maisha: 😳
