I had to have my tonsil biopsied a few years back. With my mouth agape and a six-inch needle down my throat, my ENT quipped: > I did this once, I learned a lot. Surprisingly that was the most comforting thing I could hear. To know that the ENT had enough confidence and presence-of-mind in his procedure to crack a joke told me I was in good hands, even if those hands were holding a six-inch needle down my throat.
