usually I hate this shit, but I kind of hate typical healthcare and doctors too. natural medicine usually seems like total BS practiced by nut jobs and people who pretend to be real doctors or scientists. typical healthcare seems like a big fucking mess and half the time does not work out so well for me (see: going back to the ER three times after a tonsillectomy for the incisions bleeding, expensive prescriptions that don't work, etc.).
so anyway, I've had a sore throat, and I'm scared I have some peritonsillar abscesses going on so I want to get some antibiotics or get those things lanced and drained. thing is, going to the ER is a 75 USD copay, and I have a feeling they'll just give me some antibiotics and call it a day and I'll be back next week with an even worse infection.
today at work I looked up some natural cures for throat infections and the like. one thing that a few sits mentioned was garlic. so now I'm sitting here sucking on a piece of garlic instead of waiting in a chair at the ER and spending a lot of money. we'll see how it works!
PS - it tastes like shit.
