Odd questions

[draggonlaady]

Sometimes I hear new ones. This one I didn't expect:

"You diagnosed my dog with a lung tumor, and the other day, she spit up this big chunk of something with a black thing in the center. I don't know what it was, but it was really hard, like asphalt. Could that have been the tumor?"

Er. No, that's pretty bloody unlikely, right there. And since you didn't actually bring it in, I can't tell you what it might be; unless your dog was chewing on asphalt.

And if I've learned nothing else from reading your journal (and from a previous dose of common sense!) I have learned to always hang onto the odd item in question. See exhibit A - many bags of dog vomit. Sigh. Lol!
But while highly misinformed they are optimistic people!

much better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!

Seconded!

I'd have thought that in order to cough up a lung tumour, you'd have to cough up the lung itself.

Then again, I'm not a biologist. Just like your client.

pretty much. either way, the critter's in serious bad.
