 KL> I'm still convinced that the female dentist was trying to "seek
 KL> revenge" from young boys and teenagers as a result of her husband
 KL> leaving her.  And this time, I had a sore throat last Monday, so I
 KL> went to see this family doctor. Unfortunatly, she (a female doctor in
 KL> her 50's who's married) wasn't in so I had to settle for a young (28?)
 KL> female doctor with blond hair (I know, I know... BIG mistake!)  I
Watch it! If you start making "blonde jokes", you're gonna get some hefty 
hate mail in this echo! :]  Hmmm....28.....I guess she just graduated not
too long ago. She "should" be pretty up-to-date in training.

 KL> waited for about 5 minutes and she finally came in.  The diagnosis
 KL> part went "fine" (or maybe I should choose another word), it took her
 KL> less than 2 minutes  So, there, I got a piece of paper and got the
Whoa.... a 2 minute consultation! That's way too short!! Did she have a 
chance to look at your medical history? Was she taking over for you usual
doctor? Normally, a new doc should give you a complete physical before
treating you.
 KL> pills - Amoxicillin 500mg, 30 capsules for 10 days.  The first day I
 KL> was fine with the pills, but then the second day in class, I fell
 KL> asleep more than 8 times during my chemistry class!  Which is
 KL> extraordinary considering I had more than 9 hours of sleep the night
 KL> before.  I tried getting more sleep the next days but it just isn't
 KL> enough even going to bed at 21:00.  My sleeping problem got worse day
I've never heard of an antibiotic causing drowsiness. Were you taking any 
other medication? Also, did you tell the doc as soon as you noticed the
drowsiness "side-effect"? I think it's important to note such side-effects.
They may indicate other things. Did your sore throat go away?

 JW> is to say they are good! Well, recently, I've been getting Memory
 JW> Parity Errors. I mentioned this to the guy that sold me the original 4
 JW> MB, and he said that probably the new chips are slower and so can't
 JW> keep up with the old chips. I say  "cow chips"! I think the original
 KL> Is it the same guy who told you your ATI card was zapped through the
 KL> phone line?
Yep. The same. Well, I got the other chips from my friend but the Parity 
errors are still there. I've taken back my old chips and I'm presently 
trying to induce a Parity error. As soon as one happens, I'm gonna take it
back and request that they give me a new motherboard that'll support the
8 MB. I suspect that they've done something to the board that'll not allow
end users to upgrade the memory. Well, we'll see, but I'm really getting
ticked off at him!!!
 
 KL> I think you'll need a major brain transplant woth one of the
 KL> therapists... hehe...hahaha...
Yeah, not a bad idea! :]  
 JW> The course doesn't end until Jan. 93 so I think I'm a little
 JW> ahead....not for long. :]
 KL> I'm jealous cuz I'm still trying to finish up my Math assignment
 KL> which is due on Tuesday!
I don't have that problem yet, however, we still don't have a lot of the 
textbooks. They said that they'll loan us the books. Well, it's been 3 weeks
and no books. We've already received assignments that require us to use the
textbooks. Well, they're gonna have to wait for us to hand them in. I'm
starting to do more on the machines now. I get to rotate the machine even
when a patient is on the table. Oh yeah! I heard that we might be able to 
observe some surguries pertaining to cancer. And we might be able to see
autopsies if the person died from cancer.
 
 JW> Well, I called and I can get a great deal on Ami Pro 3.0 (well under
 JW> $200),  so I've asked my friend to get it. I should have it in 2 weeks
 KL> I read an ad that says a competitive upgrade to Lotus's AmiPro is
 KL> only around $90 and the regular price is $240 somthing... Is that what
 KL> you're talking about?
No. It's a special student price. The package is the complete version of 
AP. It still hasn't arrived yet. "I'm waiting with baited breath!" Whatever
that means. :] Hopefully, I'll get it soon. I heard that it takes up about
18 MB of disk space! Well, looks like I'll be looking for another HD.

How's school going? I'm sure that little stint of illness you had didn't 
help at all with easing up the work load. Well, be prepared for a 
bombardment of mid-terms come late October. I do not envy you. Hmm.....
well don't worry. I hope I didn't scare you. :]
