Adenoviridae

Adenoviridae who?

Adenoviridae who is

gonna make you

sick, ha!

....I'm gonna find a new home in your tonsils and make your life hell for a week or until your body is strong enough to bust up my DNA. I've got 52 different flavors of strands which you have probably not been exposed to since you have been out of the "childcare" loop.
Kids carry me in there lungs and I need to find a better home. Your tonsils look like the perfect place. You'll think that I'm Strep, but joke on you buddy, antibiotics, go for it, they can't touch me. Best of all you can't even prove that I'm in you without doing a ridiculously expensive test most likely. I'll wait until your sleeping and I'll make your tonsils sswweeelll and make you choke on your own saliva.

So that's all I have to say about this week, I'm not sure who invented ibuprofen, but I'm pretty glad he or she did, cause that's my only help for my swollen tonsils. I went to a local establishment to have them "viewed", a lot of help this guy was, he told me I had a virus, no really you are brilliant, I already knew that, I went to see if we could do anything about the fact that I wake up every hour cause my airway collapses and my engorged tonsils fill up my airway...take it up with your family doctor.

He didn't really seem to care that I couldn't breath at night, I guess I thought that was a big part
of the ABC's of medicine, surely they haven't changed those rules, I've only been gone for 6 months.

Health care professional? Maybe they should change the name to "people who look at you when you are sick and tell you things that you already know". Cause this person obviously didn't care. I can say all this because I am a nurse.
