euripides

my most sophisticated patient to date:
reading "Euripides or the Tragedy of the Fifth Century in Greek Theater" while waiting for me to look into his nose and determine allergenicity

amazing how patients so trustingly offer their unsuspecting body parts to our probing eyes and hands
and then go back to Euripides and the tragedy

i told him he's allergic to iowa and should move back to maryland
he insisted he was staying on the farm even if he was "gonna sneeze his way to death, dammit"

21st century tragedy, not greek but human
aren't we all allergic to something?
