calling dr. house

this week has been 'strange diagnosis week' - i had dentist appointment tuesday morning and they took a picture of my tooth, the one waaaay in the back. apparently i have 'decay' and have to get that sealed or something (whatever they do for decay). i was telling my boss about this and he asks 'so you have a cavity?' - i say 'well, no one actually said the word cavity, but they are going to do something that sounds like what they do for a cavity.'

yesterday morning, while i am trying to eat breakfast, i notice i can't swallow as good as i could the night before. my throat doesn't hurt and i don't feel bad, but i am struggling to swallow. i go to the doctor and he says 'you have a bacterial infection here *points to a part of a picture of an ear* and it is making your gland swell causing you problems when you try to swallow.' i tell my co-worker about this and she asks 'so you have an ear infection?' - i say 'well, he didn't actually say ear infection.'
