As a doctor, you have a sense of what it’s like to be sick, but until you’ve gone through it yourself, you don’t really know... when you get an IV placed, for example, you can actually taste the salt when they start infusing it. They tell me that this happens to everybody, but even after eleven years in medicine, I had never known.
