That'll fix it.
So woman today brings in her little Fluffy, who's been lethargic and had a low-grade fever for about a week and a half, after fighting with someone else's little Fluffy. After discussing why I think this is a bacterial infection, and not, say, rabies, I recommend starting Fluffy on an antibiotic. Woman declines... she prefers to treat the cat by application of "essential oils" to his feet. She does not specify essential oil of what, but since off the top of my head the only one I know of with direct medical application has nothing to do with fighting infections (clove oil for anesthetic induction of fish and amphibians), I think it probably doesn't matter.
But it reminds me of this lovely piece of work: Storm, by Tim Minchin. It's lovely, and you should go enjoy it.
