See Nose Run
At 23, I’m very grateful to have been blessed with good health, and besides a broken bone or two, that I have never had to deal with any prolonged physical impairment or illness. At the risk of sounding petty and ungrateful, though, I have one request for all of you docs in training out there: Can someone please find a cure for a runny nose?
I just don’t understand the purpose behind a bunch of fluid dripping from your nose all day. And no matter how much you blow and blow and blow, you throw your tissue away and drip-drip, there’s some more. Am I right, Thunder?
Where does it all come from? If matter can be neither created nor destroyed, is there something I can do to stop supplying my body with an endless supply of snot? What would be the consequences of such an action? What exactly is this thin, liquidy snot compound? Somebody please help me!
In the meantime, I will continue unraveling my roll of toilet paper in a vain attempt to stop the run. Feel free to leave instructions for your cures here.
