My daughter Mia wasn’t feeling well, so she went to the doctor. Here’s a copy of what he wrote.
Check out the diagnosis: “Bad cold.”
I wonder, is that a term they use in medical school? Do they teach you the difference between a “good cold” and a “bad cold”? Is there a medical chart ranging from 1 to 100, with “good cold” at 1 and “very bad cold” at 100?
And why is she unable to attend school but cleared to return to all physical activities? Too sick for algebra, but burpees are fine?
At least the prescription wasn’t a pile of unnecessary bullshit medication that will only destroy her liver and cause kidney damage, further destroying her health till she ends up over medicated, drooling from the left side of her mouth and being pushed around in a wheel chair, which is just like they want us so they can soak our insurance companies till we end up dead. According to them, another satisfied customer.
We’re in a fuckin war here against BIG PHARMA AND BIG FOOD!!! A war far worse than the war against terror!
Your weapon is your body and how you treat it!!!!
You ain’t got your health you don’t have to worry about being terrorized.
You don’t eat well and don’t lift heavy shit, and your family watches you die a painful and miserable death.
And while we’re talking about health, how about a little emphasis on EATING WELL, GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN, AND MOVING YOUR BODY? Those habits deserve attention long before you walk into a doctor’s office.
These are the people we’re trusting with our health, and I’d like a little more explanation than “bad cold.” How about, you are deathly ill or you’re fine?
I should put on my retired cardinal uniform, head down there, and give him a piece of my mind. Somebody needs to hear a confession.
We have a responsibility, too. If your family and friends eat like shit and never train, SAY SOMETHING. Encourage them. Invite them to work out. Help them get started.
WATCHING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS NEGLECT THEIR HEALTH WITHOUT EVER SPEAKING UP IS DOING THEM A PROFOUND INJUSTICE.
REAL FRIENDS CARE ENOUGH TO HAVE THE UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION. EAT WELL. LIFT HEAVY SHIT. HELP THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE DO THE SAME.
WATCHING FRIENDS AND FAMILY WASTE AWAY PURELY FROM NOT LIFTING OR EATING WELL IS DESPICABLE AND COULD END UP IN TRAGEDY, LIKE BEING IMMOBILIZED IN A HOSPITAL BED WITH A NURSE HAVING TO WIPE YOUR ASS AND CHANGE YOUR DIAPER EVERY 8 HOURS.
