i skimmed that article on PTSD in like 20 seconds, saw the ending and was like "no way a General could even agree with that statement, elt alone make it"

 

 

anyway, went to the doctor. she asked if I drank alcohol or smoked or anything.  nope.  do I have as ore throat, flu symptons, or anything.  nope.

 

she asked me a lot of questions, all to no forward progress.

 

then she's like "do you have a lot of stress?"

 

well, i got to class 14 hours a week and work 40 hours, and study another 20 hours at least.

 

she said she would do some blood test on my thyroid, and two other things to rule them out, since its most likely stress.

 

ringer quote of the nightl;  "that class is killing you",.,.well, seh said "you're killing yourself" but tahts what she meant...then she said "but you're doing it, so I don't kbnow what to tell you"

 

yeah, i dont know, but im already stressed thinking about studyin for this class.  not very hard anymore, but still al ot of studyin to do.

 

best doctor I've ever had, never appears stressed or discontent.  she's cool man, enjoys what she does and gets to the bottom of things pretty quickly while always having a jovial attitude.  even gave me direction around base to get to the hospital since tehre's a base wide exercise and lots of blocked roads, and gave em with excitement.  she probably hasn';t dealt with a lot of sham illnesses.
