Re:Re:Dear Doctor

Dear Doctor, Thank you for prescribing several remedies. As I am dying to get rid of this dreadful condition and so eager to be able to experience ecstacy once more, I am willing to be your volunteer to try all of the options. However, it looks like I will need a lot of help from our members. Would you folks help me, this poor tweet, please? By the way, I hope you are a good doctor, not a quack. --------------------- [원본 메세지] --------------------- Dear Patient, Awfully sorry to hear that you're suffering a severe case of PEDS, a less-defined mental problem with no sure remedies, at least up to now. Actually, I've been kept busy caring for those who report similar symptoms. This contemporary mental problem seems rather ethnic-specific, since it's exclusively found among Koreans, especially after this World-cup. We doctors are currently planning to do some clinical trials. What we need most, therefore, are some helpful volunteers (to tell you the truth, we don't have any yet). If you don't mind, you are advised to volunteer in this trials by trying one of the following possible medical treatment options. 1. Keep TWEETing along with other small birds for a week or two within your favorite driving range. Caution: Don't frighten the birds away by hitting them with your powerful T-shot. 2. Get a bunch of AMARYLLIS to ornament your living room with. Get another bunch and grind them with a cup of water. Boil the sticky mixture for 20 minutes to extract some helpful but "unknown" alkaloids. Have a spoonful of this everyday just before you break fast early in the morning for at least a month. (We have unreliable evidence that this extract contains some potent anti-depressants that may stimulate your brain. At least, it will stimulate, or rather irritate, your stomach.) 3. Phono-therapy is another option. Just listen to a variety of Jazz Music, like contemporary jazz, mainstream jazz, smooth jazz, alternative jazz, avant-garde jazz, Latin jazz, fusion jazz, and lots more. For all this, you need to ask our beloved disk jockey CAFEMIA a favor. As long as she is your 임, she sure will help you, won't she? 4. Alternatively, you may take some ANTAGONIST medications. We have (mere) intuition that some antagonists of inhibitory neurotransmitters may act as powerful anti-depressants. If you prefer this to others, I'll have AMARYLLIS fill the prescription for you! 5. Religous method is a last resort. I mean, you may pray God for help, though you may think it's quite an absurd thing to do. Just summon HERMES to convey your prayer to HERA. But, whether SHE has any therapeutic potential or not is totally unknown. <<General Caution: Don't take any STEROIDS during this process. None is known to help your case!!!>> Take care, FROM YOUR DOCTOR --------------------- [원본 메세지] --------------------- Dear Doctor, It's been over a week since the World Cup games ended, and I think I am suffering a rather severe case of PEDS (Post Ecstacy Depression Syndrome). My symptoms include lost appetite, lost memory (I can only count to 4 and any bigger numbers are meaningless), misspelling (Corea instead of Korea), flipping through TV channels aimlessly, rather lethargic body with no energy, and not comimg to eacie often enough. These conditions are quite different from what I felt during the games. In the game against Italy, I felt a strange sensation in my body when Ahn scored the winning goal in the second over-time. My whole body was trembling, my toes were curled up, and I was letting out a strange scream. With the lack of medical terminologies, I tried to explain the feeling to you as ecstacy, but I think you called it as something different. Whatever it was, it was definately better than the current condition of PEDS. You said I should try to do some exercise. So I tried to play some golf yesterday. But I was depressed even more. My driving T-shot was once powerful enough to propel the ball to sail through the air and kill a bird 300 yards away. But yesterday, my feeble shaky shot pushed the ball a mere 36 yards only. Doctor, what would you recommend me to do now? Should I try some chicken from Cock House or fish from Pussy Shack? Anxiously waiting for your remedies, tweet
