The Cookie Monster
We appreciate all our readers,
but those who sit down with
coffee, cookies, and the latest
issue of ASH Clinical News —
like loyal reader and Tweeter
Navneet Majhail, MD
(@BldCancerDoc) — hold a
special place in our hearts.
But, we’re a little worried about

America) and estimated that

Majhail has consumed:
2
18
boxes of
Do-Si-Dos
boxes of
Thin Mints
He deserves a merit badge!
(After his blood glucose test.)
7
boxes of
Samoas
12
boxes of
Tagalongs
Fake It Till You
Make It

Yield: 12 gallons (enough for one “Carrie” prom scene
re-enactment):
Mommy Dearest
