Sometimes We Get Sick


Well ladies and gentlemen it is official (I)Phil have an Ameba. If you can read it on the paper it says that I have a plus 2 ameba. When I picked up the results from the lab, the lab assistant did not speak any English. I had the paper in my hand and showed it to him and I heard him say two words very clear in Arabic. He said, “Mesh Quies” which means Not Good. I then called the nurse and she told me the wonderful assortment of medication I would need to get and have been taking now for two days. I have five more days to go, before all of the medication is used. The medicine has something in it that causes everything to taste like metal. This is culture at its finest.
