A Word From Dr. Whiskers
As some of you may know, I have been sick for a couple of weeks now. I have a bronchial infection. I, being a man who of course knows it all, decided a doctor was not necessary and I could doctor myself. I've been drinking lemon tea with honey . . . taking penicillen . . . lots of bed rest . . . but still no improvement. So yesterday I broke down and visited the hospital. The visit started off good . . . weight down . . 83.6 kg . . .
blood presure good . . . 123 over 68 . . . great!!
Then off to the blood lab.
Uhoh. . . blood sugar way up . . . damn . . . probably the honey??
The doctor again scolds me about the evils of smoking . . . yes
doc . . . I'm a sinner . . . I'm addicted to smoking . . . just shoot me . . .
I can't stop!! Okay so we got past that. Now he tells me that penicillen
is a steroid and that steroids do not kill infections. Oh really?!?
Here I am all my life thinking penicillen was this miracle medicine that
cure just about everything.
So right there I learned 2 things that I didn't know . . .
1. Penicillen is a steroid. and
2. Steroids do not kill infections. So now . . . to make a long story short,
beside the dozen or so medications I take everyday for my heart,
my head and my diabetes, the doctor gave me four more for my
bronchitus. The moral of the story . . . Don't try to doctor yourself . .
and be careful of old time remedies!!
Don't worry . . . I'll be getting well soon . . .
Have a great day!!
