Frog in My Throat

While we were waiting for Jeremy (who was scrambling to find his business cards), I found this really weird word that defies pronunciation. Try it out. I suspected it was spelt wrong, and was missing an 'm' for motor, but it still didn't solve the phonetical dilemma.

Well I did say when I was a small boy that I got to know the ENT doctors very well. I was a specialist in ENT doctors. I remember there was one doctor, German or Swiss, who was quite old, and would greet me and my mother with a big, hearty, "HELLOOOOH." He was a funny, enjoyable guy, but I don't remember if he helped me out a lot. I think it's quite a tough area to be effective in, because the tissues are really sensitive and there are a lot of possible causes for disorders particularly in the ear and throat.

I've already been to an ENT doctor in Korea - an excellent physician, one who once spotted me walking towards my house while he was driving in the street in his white Mercedes. To give you an idea, in Korea there are almost no cars on the roads that are not made in Korea. Absolutely no Japanese cars, but you'll occasionally see a BMW, and I have seen a blue and yellow and lime Beetle already, and maybe once in a while you'll see a Jaguar. Mercedes Benz , in Korea, are rare. I think they have to be specially imported (but I believe that is changing) and thus are prohibitively expensive. Nevertheless, my doctor friend has a white one, so I think he's doing pretty well for himself.

Otorhinolaryngology is actually a real word. It is basically defined as: The medical specialty concerned with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, and throat.*

According to www.dictionary.com:
The words ear, nose, and throat are what is meant by oto-, rhino-, and laryngo-, which are the forms of Greek ous, “ear,” rhs, “nose,” and larunx, “larynx or upper part of the windpipe,” respectively, when used in combination with other word forms.

So, if you like, you can say, instead of an ENT doctor, you can say, "Oto rhino laryn gologist." Easy: Otorhinolaryngologsit. And you thought you knew everything about the English language!
