Q: Hello, Doctor. After lots of years of psychologic torture and fun things like that, I gots to take over the body of a nice little Witchy. It was a good thing, it gots me existing on your mortalish plane. But now I gots a problem. Witchy sits there in my head, she does, and she talks at me a lot. I used to makes her cry for it, but now she won't, she won't stop her talkings and makings me feel things. Tell me Doctor Neferbaths, have you gots a something to make Witchy go away from my head? Perhaps if she lives in my spleen she'll be quiets?

A: The gentle Doctor Neferbath has pondered your question for hours, until he was assaulted by a marauding boom box, and now he believes he has your answer. Provide yourself a set of headphones, and place them over your/her ears, and pump in loud punk kazoo music. If for some strange reason she likes that, try Barry Manilow. That will make her vacate the premises immediately, but it may also drive you out of your mind, too.

If you could remove the offending witchie to your spleen - an operation that might take several gallons of blood transfusions - this largely-unessential organ could house her quietly and you certainly would not hear her down there. Just be careful that she doesn't make you vent your spleen, because that could yield unpleasant results at the most inopportune times. Of all the alternate organs, this one is probably the best for housing brain-witchies gone unwelcome. Witchies in the digestive tract tend to be, ah, gassy. You certainly don't want her in your heart, because she will surely break it. The good Doctor knew one client who kept a witchie in his kidney, and she got drunk on anything he imbibed, until she and it both malfunctioned.

Q: Hey, Doc! I go around making people feel sick, and I find it very rewarding, as after all, it is my profession. However, a lot of people don't understand this, and toss antibiotics my way, which in turn make me feel sick. Do you have any cure for antibiotics? ~~ Staphylococcus aureus

A: Dr. Neferbath, having just doused hmself in antibiotics in your presence, hesitates to answer and enquires after your financial status.

Hmm, he notes your financial status appears to be stable, and notes that he can probably move faster than you, and that after all the coating of grime about his corpus probably confers some immunity, or at the least, armor.

He suggests you develop a resistant strain of yourself, and in this manner you can dodge the antibiotic bullet, become bigger and stronger, and dominate the earth. And now, if you don't mind, the kind Doctor is going to go on a fact finding trip to a bacteria-free locale in upper Lapland.

Dr. Inkompotep Neferbath is a physician living in the soft sandy underbelly of Ancient Egypt, performing root canals and eye extractions with abandon, and boiling books to extract their wisdom.

Please leave him your medical questions to be answered with his personally pungent expertise in the next issue of The PanHistorian.
