Honesty is the worst policy


Conversation with ultrasound specialist while she was scanning my throat.


Her: Your thyroid is fine. See? Left chamber - no abnormalities. Right chamber - nothing.


Me: But doctor, I've noticed that the size of my neck has suddenly increased over the last few years. If it's not the thyroid, what could it be?


Her: Obesity?
