1) AHAHHAHA! I love fist-to-face jokes. So far my favorite is when Nick said "how about I fist fuck your face" but that one is very general. Lori, yours is now my favorite specifically set aside for people in authority positions. 2) But wait, I didn't think antibiotics did anything for the flu. I thought you had to take anti-virals and ASAP. Even then I was under the impression that all they did was lessen/shorten the symptoms. What gives?
3) Congratulations on living.
Gretchen, glad I could add to your collection of "fist to face" jokes :)The antibotics are for the cough/post nasal shit... which I had WITH the flu in the beginning, and then of course, still have though MUCH WORSE NOW thanks to the dr deciding to withold the drugs.
I have a history of retaining a bad cough after everything else is gone... and no one ever listens to me.
Try yelling at two very determined kids when you have no voice. Go ahead. Try it. Not fun! And Im hacking and hacking and hacking all day and nite.
Grrrr..... Dr's think they know your body better than you do. But they know jack.
yeah. fuck doctors! losing your voice when you have kids fucking sucks. i'm with you on that one sister. it's the pits.
My husband is like that. No matter what illness he starts with he ends up with bronchitis.
My dad always says "how'd you like a knuckle sandwich?" It's an old one but still a classic. Makes me giggle.
I love watching non doctors talking about doctors. :::snicker::: Jeebus folks catch a flying fukkin' clue.
Your doctor just didn't want to waste good antibiotics on you because he thought you would be dead by now. You should be happy... God there is no pleasing some woman.
Happy I am not dead? That is not something to be happy about... as I expect to wake up alive every morning. Happiness for me, right now, would be a cough free existence here on earth....
Well then I hope you don't wake up tomorrow... you know just to change things up a bit.
Lori, if you die now it's going to be all on Nick. And that deserves punishment. So your options are: - die and then haunt him
- die and become bloodsucking immortal, vampires are in fashion now, and you know who should be your first meal
- mutate the h1n1, die, dig yourself out from the grave, infect others, and gang up all zombie on Servius
I think that covers your basic options.
I don't fear decaying sick people... weak in life weak in death I always say.
If you want to haunt nick after you die, Lori, you're in line behind me.
Okay, I don’t wish Lori any specific harm, and this is not necessarily aimed at her. But I’m okay with doctors not immediately giving up meds. From what I understand, the reason that antibiotics are less effective and they constantly have to develop new ones, is owing to the fact that many doctors meekly acquiesce to patients’ demand. A patient comes in, demands antibiotics, even though they don’t necessarily treat the symptoms, but just mask them temporarily, and the doctor forks them over. The population slowly develops an immunity (that may not be the right word) to the antibiotic, and the pharmaceutical company goes back to the drawing board to develop another one. Believe me, I know that there are times when a patient knows better than the doctor, but that is most assuredly not always the case.
And that’s……one to grow on.
What Rusty said.Except the "one to grow on" bit. That's just goofy.
That's from the kids' psa commercials that used to be on during Saturday morning cartoons.
Which is why it's goofy. Especially since he could just as easily have said, "and knowing is half the battle" instead.
No, I'm all for any nostalgia related to Saturday morning cartoons in the 80's. You're wrong, Tom. So wrong.
I've done the "And knowing is half the battle" thing before. I don't want to be too predictable.
Perhaps you should confuddle the two: "and thats....knowing half the battle."
"knowing is one to grow on"
"half the battle is growing on"
Then again, perhaps not.
I do agree with Rusty, tis very true that this is the reason we have those super bugs. Whenever Jake or I get sick I always wait several days because I know they'll just send me home telling me to wait several days! On the other hand, Richard goes immediately as soon as he's coughing up the "green stuff" and comes home livid when they say the "green stuff" doesn't necessarily mean it's bacterial and not viral. I think he prefers if it does become bacterial so he can storm back there with his I Told You So!
TO be honest, from what Ive read, the reason antibotics arent as effective as they once were is due to the fact that our MEAT is loaded with antibotics (it was added into our MEATS feed when they were fattening them up for us)..... Sarah knows where I read this, dontcha Sarah????
And that is also the reason we are all so sickly ....
As to the haunting of Nick... I would much rather follow him around for awhile coughing all over him....
Good Lord, listen to you folks. It's like the Middle Ages all over again. "Don't take a bath..it'll kill ye!" Rusty, yer post #17 pretty much sums it up. That's how it goes down. If anyone has any doubt, just head over to your nearest ER and watch what goes down. Lot's of illegals and ignorants demanding treatment for stuffed up noses and coughs. These folks plug the system for HOURS. The waiting room at the Dr office isn't too much better.
So, like a good patient, I waited.. and little by little the flu worked it's way out of my system.
Then after three days of feeling swell, I rebounded with a nasty head cold! Sore Throat, Cough, Post Nasal Drip...
Finally got the antibotics, but now I have lost my voice! God Damn Healthcare!! I fucking pay out the ass for my coverage and they just cut every fucking corner out there until they can't possibly withold treatment.. I hate Dr's and their stupid new rules.
Next time, when I drag my ass into your office, you better fucking cough the meds up or my fist will be having a private consulation with your face.
