Medical bulletin: 2 for the price of 1

About ten days ago I was not feeling well and having already been laid low for several days in my second week, I sought advice. Various tests revealed that I have typhoid and amoebic parasites, two for the price of one. I was not sure whether to panic, it did not sound very good, but I was not feeling that bad. My friends` reaction reassured me, most of them found it really funny and said everyone gets typhoid, in fact someone proudly told me their friend has had it 8 times! And yes, I was innoculated.

Luckily I am in expert medical hands. My boss has not one but two doctors in the family and I am taking antibiotics (first to treat tyhphoid, and when the course is completed we can treat the parasites). Hopefully I will not need to call on their respective specialisms, anaestha and neurology. Apart from not having much of an appetite, there is nothing much wrong with me. The worst is that I am banned from drinking alcohol for 25 days, my organism is suffering wihtout its regular dose of vino tinto.
