I stumbled across a word the other day, which was rather coincidental, since the doctor had just uttered it and so it was weird that I should have happened to hear it at precisely the same moment, especially since I had been seeing the doctor because of a loss of hearing.
The word: Idiopathic
The definition: Of unknown cause
The reason it was uttered: The doctor couldn't figure out why my left ear hears less than it used to.
The diagnosis was given to me almost as if it were a solution. Huzzah! We have solved the problem! Your loss of hearing is idiopathic!
My future career change: Idiopathologist
Sounds like a sweet job!
