Physician's Full Employment Act

The sage continues.

So, to deal with my out-of-control rheumatoid arthritis factor numbers, my pulmonary specialist is referring me to a rheumatologist. Which seems logical ... except for the fact that my sister-in-law, Dr. House, thinks my docs are incorrect [not exactly her words] and that my rheumatoid factors and pertussis aka whooping cough positives are both false. Which means that I have ... what? Who knows. And of course, I haven't gotten to the referral to the orthopedic surgeon. This whole things just seems suspicious.

I tend to believe that there are "unified field" theories to explain the medical mystery, and I think that that is what my SIL, Dr. House, is getting at. Something autoimmune related, perhaps. Maybe sarcoidosis? Who knows.

On the good news front ... the Angels swept the Red Sox this weekend at Anaheim. Life doesn't get better than that.
