....But the malady lingers on.

A friend is suffering from a "summer cold" which appears to be both lingering and tenacious. My own experience of thirty years ago coincided with our move from New York to New Jersey where we had to find new medical contacts. A search thru the Yellow Pages zeroed in on a E.E.N.T. (eyes, ears, nose & throat) specialist in an upscale neighboring community. He probed in several areas above the neck and when I asked him to check my chest he replied " I don't have a stethoscope." This reply stunned me as did his bill that followed.
Stay well friends and have a happy summer.
