1001 doctors

| 3 Comments

I averaged roughly once a week seeing some sort of medical person for quite a long period of time last year. It was torture, for someone who hates going to see the doctor.

I’ve seen:

-general practitioners

-neurologists

-acupuncturists

-Chinese medicine practitioners

-chiropractors

-Chinese massage therapists

-physiotherapists

-brain specialists

-optometrists

-dentists

-ENT specialists

-psychologists

-qigong masters

-nurses

-ER doctors and nurses

-homeopathologists

-X-ray technicians

-MRI technicians

-lab analysts

-pharmacists

-gynaecologists… and so on and so forth…

I’ve exhausted all my medical claims for 2009 and 2010. 2011 remains to be seen…

The nurses know me by first name and I know all their names.

I don’t intend to brag about my knowledge of clinics and hospitals here, but I do want to tell you one thing:

If you don’t want to end up like me, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HEALTH!

Pay attention to what your body is telling you.

Those colds every 2 or 3 weeks, sore throat, swollen gums, dry skin, stomach aches, headaches etc are all warning signals of some sort of stress.

Address it before you end up lying on a hospital bed with an IV drip every other week.

I mean it.
