Should I Seek Medical Attention?
You're sick, and we don't mean "cool." Look at you. Hunched over your desk, snot running into your mouth, eyes glazed over. You're disgusting. Is it a cold? A flu? Walking mononucleosis? Or do you just need a divorce? Only a true medical professional knows for sure. But when are you sick enough to justify the co-pay? Take this easy true/false quiz and find out. Good luck!

Did you answer "true" to 10 or more of the above? Call your doctor immediately! If you answered "true" to 15 or more of the above, call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room. People desperately in need of medical attention often get along well with hypochondriacs, drug dealers and candy stripers. They are spurned by loved ones and roommates.
