Speaking of arms, my father was hospitalized yesterday with bursitis. Which is an infection in the bursa on the elbow. Bursae is from the same word as bursar or purse, it's just a fluid sac. They've tried a few classes of antibiotics before he went to the hospital, and I guess they've finally broken out the vancomycin, so we know it's serious. If it's bad enough we might have to employ a cutpurse... er, surgeon.
All of this is complicated by covid because doctors don't want to see you if you have a fever. So you have to go to the emergency room for any fever you have, and wait until they finally serve you. Just because you could take a look at his arm from ten meters away and know the cause of the fever is no reason to violate policy, you know?
