The violet-green swallow Tachycineta thalassina is a small North American passerine bird in the swallow family. These aerial insectivores are distributed along the west coast from Alaska to Mexico , extending as far east as Montana and Texas. With an appearance very similar to the tree swallow , these individuals can be identified by the white rump side-patches that appear to separate their green back and purple tail. Violet-green swallows are secondary cavity nesters, found in a number of habitats including deciduous and coniferous forest. In addition to nesting in tree holes within these habitats, they are also widely observed nesting in the cracks of large cliffs.
Some patients tell me that they would sooner have constant pain than put up with swallowing difficulties. I suppose it's because long-term pain is something the brain can 'tune out' whereas a symptom that occurs in connection with an activity such as swallowing or that comes and goes is less easy to ignore. Also, whatever the cause of pain, the supermarket shelves are stuffed with tablets to help relieve it. You can't say the same about swallowing problems. Things are made worse when symptoms which occur in many harmless conditions can also be features of cancer.
