My husband is an ENT resident. Ears. Nose. Throat. The medical term is otolaryngologist. More simply put, he’s a head and neck surgeon. This month, he’s on an ED (Emergency Department a.k.a. ER) rotation. Which means he gets to deal with cooters.

Him: “Can you describe the pain?”
Patient: “Well, it’s a sharp pain that starts up here (uses both arms to point to each of her kidneys) …and then it shoots real fast-like, right down to my cooter.
