No primitives showed up at this campfire, but I brought it over anyway, to make a point.

grrr doctors! how they hate to say "i don't know"
middle child has had abdominal troubles for a long time. she had a colonoscopy last week. when the doc came in, he said "well, good news, we didn't find anything". my daughter burst into tears. why can't they just say "well, we didn't find any answers"? it's not that they don't know that patients are often unhappy with normal results because they want to know what it wrong.
is it that they lack that empathy? or they just hate to admit their limits?
worn these same shoes myself. wanted scream in their faces sometimes.
Now, for those who don't know, the mopinko primitive is the loudest hypochondriac on Skins's island; she's been afflicted with every disease and ailment known to mankind, including haemophilia and prostrate cancer, and some things that haven't been invented yet.
It's a wonder the mopinko primitive has lived so long (probably in her early 60s, although she may be as young as her mid-50s), all the diseases and ailments she's had.
Like mother, like daughter.
I'm no physician, but I suspect these "abdominal pains" are in the head.
