Fool
I have an ulcer on my tongue. And one on the inside of my left cheek. The deadly spawn of stress and dehydration.
Now when I talk, I sound like the deadly spawn of Donald Duck and a Sylvester Stallone, lisping through my teeth, omitting consonants or changing them to 'W's.
"Hewwo. Howwah you feewing today?"
"Tay sthome deep bwefs in pweez."
Sound like a fool.
One of my patients actually tried to sniff my breath, you know, to see if I was inebriated. I feel very sorry for her, because I hadn't drunk any water for 6 hours, so my breath was highly poisonous at that stage.
Heh heh heh.

I don't practise anymore, but here is something that I remember from my pre-reg days in a HIV team. My consultant said that CMV ulcers look like ordinary ulcers, hard to tell with naked eye.
The female HIV consultant in London is v famous and a real b*tch to work for so you can imagine the stress levels. So there we were, me, the SHO and the reg, having dinner that on-call evening. We all happened to also have mouth ulcers and were commiserating with each other when collectively, our minds recalled what boss said, eew!

ah, poisonous breath. i pity your patient! and i miss the UK so, so, so much.
Women's breaths should always never be poisonous. - D W
umami: Argh! I do not have the CMV! Arrgh!
teacup: Pity my patient?! What about poor, dehydrated me?!
D W: Yes yes, and ladies secrete rose or lavender scented sweat only, and when we have periods, we should dig holes in the ground to hide ourselves away in shame!
Actually, men's breaths are much worse and ladies' poisonous breath (even if it was a result of going 6 hours without water) should not be as potent as men's. - D W
