Diagnose with Dinty


Throughout the last 6 months I have had a series of unfortunate medical diagnostic tests--one test leading to another, and then another. You could say the experience has reinforced my general dislike for visits to the doctor.

Of all the tests I've had to endure, tomorrow's test rates highest on the strange-o-meter. After fasting all morning, I need to bring two pieces of toast bread along with me to the appointment and then will need to eat a radioactive egg. Yup, you read right. This test will apparently show whether or not I am digesting in an appropriate amount of time.

What happens if you're allergic to eggs and you have to do the test? Why of course! You eat radioactive Dinty Moore Beef Stew instead. (!!??)
