Did the oracle predict my patient’s infection, or was it just an amazing coincidence?

A patient who was very excited about the adventure of moving overseas for work, presented to address some medical concerns before she left.

She told me she had attended the Courtyard of Curiosity with a friend the day before, as part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

Her friend, who was desperately unhappy at work, saw a booth where one could ask a question for free of ‘The Oracle’.

(It seems that, like too many GPs, this oracle was operating gratis.)
