Even Drs dont know how much healthcare costs—and it angers them too: “I should be able to tell my patient in the E.R. if his hospital stay will definitely be paid for. I know exactly how much of my dog’s care will be covered;why can’t I know the same for my patients?”

Anyone else feel like December is a prime writing month? The craziness of the semester subsides, campus becomes still, and suddenly, time opens up for all the writing that didn't/couldn't happen in the previous months. I love December.

2 weeks ago I woke up with tinnitus and hearing loss in my right ear
Saw ENT that day and diagnosed with acute sensorineural hearing loss
Prednisone 60 mg daily and my hearing is back to normal
If you wake up with acute hearing loss in one ear you should get it checked out asap
