The day in medicine, supplemental

I forgot to mention. The other thing about my nurse practitioner is that he's a fellow Firesign Theater fan.

He was preparing to give me the hepatitis vaccinations and started yawning a lot. He explained that he's developed an allergy to sulfa. I said, "Oh, I thought it was just such a long exposition." He stopped dead in his tracks, turned around, and said, "Now that's just classic", and we spent some time agreeing on the merits of Firesign Theater.

Those of you not familiar with these guys may listen to some of their best material in this three-part playlist. Firesign Theater's specialty is audio humor of a thoroughly anarchic sort; they are to American culture more or less what Monty Python was to British.
