What would freshman year at college be like without a trip to the emergency room? And what would a trip to emergency room be without a photo shoot? This is, I feel, an important insight into the mind of Scout Opatut.
Remember that coveted radio show? The one that runs from 2am-6am? The one she did last Monday when she had a head cold? This would be the radio show that took a head cold and turned it into something of some magnitude.
A terrible cold in which she lost her voice. Just in the nick of time for her first formal presentation in a class called “Fundamentals of Speech.”
A trip to the college Health Center resulted in no prescription. No nothing. If I have learned anything about Scout, it is that she demands affirmation when she is not feeling well. A special shout-out goes to Anna (“the roommate”) who provided mass amounts of affirmation with trips for vegan comfort foods (whatever those are).
Scout finally reached her limit on Friday afternoon (after squeaking to her speech teacher that she’d have to give her speech another day) and off she and Anna went to Tufts New England Medical Center. A quick trip to its website and I can see that it was a fine choice indeed. It even has a “Floating Children’s Hospital.” What do we suppose that is? I’m stumped but intrigued.
So they suspected mono and started her on IV fluids. Pumped with good nutrients,?Ǭ† happy that the mono test came back negative and armed with an antibiotic prescription, Scout could turn her attention to the important work ahead. Chronicling her adventures at Tufts New England Medical Center.
You’ll be pleased to know that Scout is feeling better. Not sure if her voice is in perfect form for her 2am-6am shift tonight (technically Tuesday a.m.). You can hear her in real time at www.wers.org and judge for yourself.
But I had no doubt after she emailed me this photo from the emergency room (with right hand placed perfectly across the brow) that she was going to make it.
