Angina…
God!! It had been a bad week…but then again, when it is not?
Sore throat had for long been atop of my "10 most hatred common disease". I guess it must be due to the fact that I cant really chat with my "condition". While for others, sore throat is a mild problem, for long it had been a really severe pain for me. I dont know why, but I guess my pharynx is super-susceptible to infection, since in a year I could get 5-10 times sore throat, but without any runny nose neither fever.
To put it together, I feel as if there’s a bear trying to sharpening his nail using my phrayngeal mucous layer.
OK..thats hyperbolic…
In Russia, angina really means tonsillitis. I got to know this while browsing around the pharmacy looking for the best medication for my throat. In western world, angina is commonly associated with Angina Pectoris (which is known as Stenokardia here)..
that’s only the initial of it..there’s like thousands, even tens of thousands differences of medical term in good ol’ USSR compared to the ever-changing medical science of the world.
And I wont talk without any prove at hand. Like today for example, during our discussion on prostatitis, my lecturer had indicated "prostate massage" as one way of treatment. It had been clearly printed out in most books that while the massage was indeed pracitced few years back, there had been lack of evidence about its benefit compared to the usage of antibiotic alone..
but then again, those technique prove to be useful for some guy who are into "experimental sexual technique/light BDSM"
whatever…
