Diagnosis

This is a hypothetical conversation between the "afflicted" and "caretaker".

"Ok, here are the symptoms."

"Right, ok, now do this...any better?"

"Nope"

"Well, then, try this."

"No, still not better. In fact, it may be worse."

"Oh, well, that's not good. In that case, try this. It works sometimes."

"Ugh, it is still no better and I'm a lot more frustrated."

"These things sometimes take time. What are the symptoms again?"

"ohhhhhhh...grrrrrrrrrrrr"

"If we could only find the cause."

"Yes, if only."

Funny, (not in a ha ha sort of way, but in a coincidental-bizarre-unfortunate way!) how similar a conversation Katie has with her doctor sounds an awful like the chats I've been having with tech support lately.
