I've always thought it was a funny little word for saying diarrhea. In my family, we call it... Well, no, wait. I won't tell you what we call it. I just realized it's incredibly un-PC. Hm. Guess I'm gonna have to find a new term.J.M.

You people made me sick. I ended up with this stuff and in the ER with a collapsed lung!" <BR/><BR/>Well, excuse me. And hello?! You're a doctor. By definition, you choose to be around sick people. If you don't want that little caveat in your job, go work for a pharma company or in a research lab. Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>As for the tech telling you s/he had the dropsies? I'd have requested a new tech. Like hell I'm gonna let someone who's had the runs stick a needle in my arm! I don't care how many times s/he's washed, that's just information I don't need! Ugh, why do people think they actually have to tell us how they are?J.M.
