Unless you are an aichmophiliac, your answer would probably be one. Aichmophilia is the obsessive interest in sharp or pointy objects. Not sharp like a hounds-tooth jacket, but sharp like knives, swords, and needles. For everyone who does not have aichmophilia, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved a combination "diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-hepatitis B-poliomyelitis-invasive haemophilus influenza type B disease" vaccine.  Of course, this name wouldn't quite flow off ...

Medicare Does Not Cover A Physical Exam The "Welcome to Medicare" preventive visit is not a physical exam. getty A friend, new to Medicare, asked me whether Medicare covered annual physicals.
