by Albert Finally, in medical news, beloved comic book writer Kurt Busiek was once again treated for a sinus infection this week. Fortunately, doctors soon found the root of the problem. "I had never seen anything like this before. Well, maybe once. I mean, I don't have the greatest memory, so I can't commit to that broad of a statement," begins Dr. Herbert Weston of the local hospital in wherever Kurt Busiek lives, USA.
