Pete's Log: overcoming the aliens
Entry #1331, (Life in General)(posted when I was 24 years old.)
I've had my alien implant -- a strange lump on the back of my neck -- for longer than I can remember. But yesterday it began to hurt, so something had to be done.
The medical professional I consulted was Ellyn Stecker of the Michiana Peace and Justice Coalition. She just happened to be on duty when I showed up at Medpoint. She informed me that the aliens had been clever enough to disguise their implant as a sebaceous cyst. Actually, she never referred to it as an alien implant, but we all know the truth. So anyway, my sebaceous cyst, which had lived on my neck peacefully for some number of years, had become infected. And thus it became an unwelcome guest. So I had it removed.
They novocained my neck, cut a hole in it, drained the cyst and removed the sac. Then gauze was left in the wound to keep it open a few days so it could drain. Now I'm on antibiotics and my neck hurts even more than before I went to the doctor. So we may conclude the following: that medical schools are not teaching doctors how to recognize alien technology when they see it and that medical treatment doesn't get rid of pain.
We'll see how things go from here.
