Throat muscle spasms Wednesday and hoarse and sore throat yesterday.

Scares me because of two rounds of strep A sepsis.

But I had sniffles yesterday too. And it is my vocal cords and above, not the trachea below. So I think this is just a cold, a virus.

I might be able to survive the strep A again, but maybe not. And last time I was out for ten months, so if I get it again, I think the clinic would close.

And I have had 8 patients with it in the last two months. I am going to be like Howard Hughes and lock myself in my house and only touch people wearing gloves.... but no, I am still doing clinic. I wear a mask and switch rooms after I see someone who I suspect has it. Though yesterday I forgot and kept using the room.

In my plague dream, the patient frothing and bubbling at the mouth: droplet spread. I wash my hands. I wear a mask so that I am less likely to get droplets when I look in their mouth and they cough... Aren't dreams curious, that it told me so clearly?

No zika in town yet.....
