We really like Finn’s doc, Mena Sathappan, a groovy Indian lady whom we visited on Friday. Sometimes, though, her accent makes for slightly funny misunderstandings. The Finnfatha has been experiencing some crummy acid reflux, so she suggested some methods for helping:
\nDr. S: “Do you have a veg pillow?”
\nMe: “Uh… I’m sorry, a…? {thinking, “Veg, as in vegetable?”}
\nDr. S: “You know, something to elevate his head?”
\nMe: “{thinking, “Ah, WEDGE”} Oh yes, absolutely.”
\nMargot and I enjoyed the “veg” thing particularly because we have a running joke about tempura<\/a> being “battered veg,” based on a skit from a British comedy show. Once we got the wedge pillow, Margot said, “Man, if Finn spits up on this thing, it really will be ‘battered veg,’ in every sense.” \ud83d\ude42
\nWe also enjoy the doc’s pronunciation of “esophagus”–“EE<\/i><\/b>-so-FAY-gus.” Makes me want to ask whether there’s a book of Aesop’s Fables about the EE<\/i><\/b>soFAYgus!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
