Pneumonia
One
February, a man suffering the most miserable cold of his life
went to his doctor for help. The doctor gave him antihistamines
and
decongestants. They did no good.
The doctor added various vitamins. No results. He gave the man
steroid
shots and a barrage of antibiotics. Nothing.
After several office visits the doctor went over the problem and
came
up with an idea. He told the man, "I want you to go
straight home and
take a long hot bath. As soon as you step out of tub, before you
dry
yourself off, open the windows and stand in the cold for as long
as you
can take it.
"But Doc," the man protested, "It's the middle of
Winter! I'll catch
pneumonia!"
Precisely!" the doctor answered. "I can *cure*
pneumonia."

Carpool
Tunnel Syndrome
A
young executive found his rides to work increasingly
anxiety-filled until he consulted his doctor in desperation.
He said, "Doc, the other riders don't bother me in regular
traffic, or in traffic jams, up and down the hills or over the
bridges. But no matter who's driving, when we go through the
tunnels it feels like those four other guys are crowded around
me like sardines. I can't breathe and I get dizzy and my head
pounds and I want to scream. I've never had claustrophobia of
any sort before and I don't understand it!"
The doctor answered, "Ah, well, yes, that's because you
don't have claustrophobia. Actually, your problem is very common
nowadays. You're suffering from Carpool Tunnel Syndrome."
