Some GPs Are Better

Tuesday, September 4

As my regular GP has been on vacation, I went to see his substitute this afternoon. I was dealing with a swollen salivary gland that had swollen to the size of a pea. For weeks I had put off seeing a doctor, until I decided to take action today.

Dr. A. did his very best when he cut out that fleshy pea. It took some help of his wife, and even my hands to lash the threads, and after a one-hour visit I was prepared to go home again. Until tomorrow. And oh, until next week for a final check.

The swollen gland Dr. A. cut out was put into a Formalin tube and sent in for a thorough analysis. I'm excited to find what exactly had caused this.
