Bad frickin' cold.

Need doctor.

Who do I see?

I've had really good experiences at the Harvard Vanguard on Holland. My Primary is Dr. Eleanor Hobbs, whom I like lots. I've also heard good things about the other 4 or 5 doctors there, except for Dr. Black, whom I've been told to avoid at all costs. But, I do highly recommend it, if you're able to get in and your insurance is accepted.

Here's the website:

To go off topic a bit, what do you expect a doctor to be able to do for your cold? If it's just a cold they're not going to give you antibiotics, so you're spending a lot of money to be told to take decongestants and get plenty of rest and fluids.

(If you think it has developed into an infection such as bronchitis that's a different story.)

Tank up on Vitamin C, Dayquil, Nyquil, Airborne and fluids.

Re: zinc, I suck on the Cold-Eeze lozenges when I'm sick. Mm, honey lemon flavor.

I go to Somerville Family Practice on Broadway. They take my insurance and are a 2-minute walk from my house, so everybody wins. Plus, the nurse practitioner I've seen there (Yael Myers) is really nice, and they actually got me a 9:45 appointment today when I called this morning at 8:30 to say I had pinkeye. Ugh, pinkeye.

Hope you feel better. My roommate's cold turned into walking pneumonia. :(
