Last Sunday I made a reverse house call to Troy, the pediatric infectious disease doctor who runs FGH here. Chivalry apparently being dead (kidding Troy! thanks for your help!), Amy and I hobbled over to his house so I could take a rapid malaria test. Sitting at his kitchen table while Troy pricked my finger to get a couple drops of blood for the test, he asked me the usual battery of doctor's questions. Each time I got to answer "no," Amy and I would high-five and add whatever it was to the list of things that were functioning well in my body: kidneys were working (bonus), heart was tickin', and my brain appeared to be working until:
Troy: Have you been drinking?
Me, without hesitation: No, but this morning I felt like I had a bit of a hangover.
Troy: No, you moron! Water. Have you been drinking water?!
