In hospital. No improvement... definitely related to the outbreak...

Headache, joint and back pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, red eye, nosebleeds.

It's... not one of the usual infections...

Do take care. I can't think of any illness that encompasses all of those symptoms and might effect a number of people simultaneously, but I'm no doctor. Typhus, perhaps? That would make sense, what with the number of parasites about. I suppose it could be Lyme disease or spotted fever or something along those lines...

I certainly hope your condition improves soon, regardless.

[dr_conscience]

They do seem to be insect-borne, but... several different diseases... not sure which one I have yet.

...thank you, though.

Of course! May I recommend resting rather than typing, though?

[dr_conscience]

I've been doing little other than resting for a couple of days, and I am still in bed.

There... is some truth to doctors being horrible patients, isn't there?

[somekindofsin.livejournal.com]

True enough. Carry on, then!

I suppose so. I haven't met all that many ill doctors, but you certainly lend the statement credibility. Given the foul mood of one of your colleagues, however, I imagine the temptation to misbehave is overwhelming.

[dr_conscience]

I might lose my mind if I didn't. Turns out the hospital is fairly uneventful on this end. At least, when I'm conscious.

You must be talking about House... and really, under the circumstances, I haven't got the strength to do much to bother him. That says nothing of the temptation to do so, of course.

As dull as it is, being conscious is a good sign, isn't it?

Is that his name? He's absolutely terrifying. I hope you'll be well enough to make his life difficult before too long.

[dr_conscience]

Hopefully. Either it's not that severe of a case, or it's not that severe yet... I'll hope for the former.

Absolutely terrifying? Yes, I think we're probably talking about the same doctor. I can only assure you that as soon as I am better, I'll make his life as difficult as possible.

[somekindofsin.livejournal.com]

I'll join you in that hope.

You're a good man.

[dr_conscience]

I appreciate that.

Well, it really is for the best. I think he'd be bored if things were any other way.
