Doctor: I'
m sorry, but you have Hermononucleosis.
Patient: Hermononucleosis? What's that?
Doctor:
Well, the symptoms are very complicated, but basically it turns you into a
frumpy, ugly little girl who has no friends and carries around enormous books, and you lose your popularity and your ability to
draw.
Patient: Is it deadly?
Doctor: Not by itself, no. But the isolation and endless teasing may provoke suicide. And, unfortunately, we have not yet found a cure.
