Pneumonia

One February, a man suffering the most miserable cold of his life
went to his doctor for help. The doctor gave him antihistamines and
decongestants. They did no good.

The doctor added various vitamins. No results. He gave the man steroid
shots and a barrage of antibiotics. Nothing.

After several office visits the doctor went over the problem and came
up with an idea. He told the man, "I want you to go straight home and
take a long hot bath. As soon as you step out of tub, before you dry
yourself off, open the windows and stand in the cold for as long as you
can take it.

"But Doc," the man protested, "It's the middle of Winter! I'll catch
pneumonia!"

Precisely!" the doctor answered. "I can *cure* pneumonia."

Carpool Tunnel Syndrome

A young executive found his rides to work increasingly anxiety-filled until he consulted his doctor in desperation.

He said, "Doc, the other riders don't bother me in regular traffic, or in traffic jams, up and down the hills or over the bridges. But no matter who's driving, when we go through the tunnels it feels like those four other guys are crowded around me like sardines. I can't breathe and I get dizzy and my head pounds and I want to scream. I've never had claustrophobia of any sort before and I don't understand it!"

The doctor answered, "Ah, well, yes, that's because you don't have claustrophobia. Actually, your problem is very common nowadays. You're suffering from Carpool Tunnel Syndrome."
