Edema

Talking about Encyclopedia, you had me on Wikipedia and Google all over the place.

Edema is, is, is that the same as gout?

Um, kind of.

Yeah.

Um, edema.

It's-

Edema, excuse me

... um, she has issues with her kidneys basically.

Well, not only that, this is something that I think would be beneficial if anyone made it this far in the episode.

Edema is something you should know about.

It's just your legs have suffered so much trauma and it's just liquid pooling down in the bottom of your legs.

Now, if I would have known...

Hypertension is a symptom.

Edema is a symptom.

In each case, competent medicine asks, "What is generating this downstream expression, and how do we do-- eliminate it at the frigging source?" They're not doing that.

Sleep apnea, repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep.

Mm-hmm.

I don't wanna say dropsy.

Dropsy's a symptom, not a disease.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

But these could be due to viruses too.

Granted, like, I do realize now that I had, like, a day or two of, like, not quite being with it.

So, like, maybe I did have a little low-grade edema.

Edema means swelling.

Yes.

Sorry.

I love that moment.

Jerry Jones's face should be on a cover of every Edema bottle.

My guide and I traversed many streets, and knocked at several doors, but to no purpose.

At one, we were told, lived the Consumption; at another, the Malady a la Mode, a French lady; at the third, the Dropsy; at the fourth, the Rheumatism; at the fifth, Intemperance; at the sixth, Misfortune.

I was tired, and had exhausted my patience, and almost my purse, for I gave my porter a new fee at every blunder he made; when my guide, with a solemn countenance, told me he could do no more, and marched off without any farther ceremony.

He was no sooner gone than I met another gentleman with a ticket, that is, an amber-headed cane, in his hand.

You ever had this before, Kev? You ever had your cells fill up with fluids?

I don't know what the context, but I heard Scorcher talking to Maya and Dropsy Clemens.

We're calling her Dropsy now because she branched out today and dropped a newspaper.

Oh.

Normally she drops...

She drops her iPhone, her phone, five times a day.

Yes.

And she got up before and dropped the newspaper to the ground, so we're going to call it Dropsy.
