My throat is KILLING me/

Why is my throat killing me?

Because...

for the last 3 days I've been doing my standardized patient work*, and the case (we call them cases) is playing somebody with a bad cough whose also a heavy smoker. 

For some reason, it seems I get all the cough-related cases.  I guess I cough good.

Anyway, because I'm all about truth I coughed in a really convincing manner, for eleven students a day x three.  And now I'm suffering big time for my art.

Just thought you'd want to share my pain.
