DR. HOOK- Big gulp: Don't (over) drink the water!   Gulp!  I
read the Rime of the Ancient Mariner in ninth grade, and I still
remember parts of it. Ms. Patrick-Brown was my quirky and
incredible English teacher who said, "You will hear this over
and over for the rest of your life."    I remember when she
taught us the meaning of onomatopoeia. She quacked like a duck,
made creaking sounds, and made other noises to show us
onomatopoeia means writing words to imitate sounds. My first use
of onomatopoeia was "Laaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Okay, maybe not, but it
should have been.  Could you imagine having water all around you
but not being able to drink any of it? Oh, wait a minute. They
made a movie about that called Water World, and it drowned in
the box office.  I recommend that my patients drink plenty of
water everyday— about 64 ounces, or eight cups. But you also get
a lot of water in food–- meat is 70 percent water, and fruits
are practically all water. A melon is even named after water;
perhaps you've heard of it.  (B
