Throat / Neck Conditions

Your throat hurts. Swallowing takes effort, speaking becomes a strain. Perhaps there is a scratching, a burning, a tightness that feels as though someone has placed a hand around your neck. Medically, the spectrum ranges from throat inflammation to laryngeal complaints to chronic hoarseness — the diagnoses are varied, the treatments well known.

But there is a question no antibiotic can answer: What do you want to say that you are not saying? What is stuck in your throat — not as mucus, but as truth?

The throat is the narrowest point between what you feel and what the world hears from you. When something is blocked there, it is worth listening. Not only with a stethoscope — but with the whole heart.
