MEDICAL ADVICE SAVES LIVES SOONER THAN LATER

Medical advice is different than mechanical advice for a car?

While it is shocking news to some, the wrong advice can kill you.

The guy at the car wash says your brakes are fine because you stopped when they gave the sign.

But those brakes are grinding at every light. When is the right time to stop ignoring the brakes and get them fixed before running over someone?

“Sooner than later,” is the best answer.

Acting on medical advice in regard to Covid-19 works the same way.

Get vaccinated sooner than later. Wear a mask sooner than later.

Sooner than later, ignoring the virus will take you down.

Let’s agree that covid and cancer are two different problems. Lock that pearl of wisdom down: covid is not cancer.

Good medical advice on this one needs to come from experience.

In most instances, covid infected patients are not happy with the illness. They may have been happy before covid, happy at a covid spreader event, but not so much when it sinks a hook in.

Not happy getting sick, not happy in a hospital bed, not happy in an ICU hooked up to a ventilator. News sources even report patient regret, along with consistent denial.

“Yeah, I got sick, but I’m not getting that devil-made vaccine or wearing a disease ridden mask.”

It’s almost like a near death experience needs to be closer to alert these people.

From Near Death To Dead

Where covid creeps arounds and carries a shorter timeline between infection and full blown despair, cancer carries a similar notion of cure.

I’ve known people, seen people, who believe they could cure cancer. To them it was no big deal, just pay more attention to details.

Amp up nutrition and exercise and work it off.

The cancer diagnosis I heard came while I was already amped up.

I said to wife, “Those guys you know who had the same cancer? Let’s call them and start their health regime.”

The call never happened.

Those men who were certain they could find a better outcome without chemo and radiation failed. Once they recognized their failure, they failed again when mainstream medicine declined to treat them.

Since the treatment is so severe, you have to start sooner than later and maintain weight. The treatment is a killer that takes patients down further than they’ve ever been. If it’s not Death’s Doorstep, it’s the place next door.

Lose too much weight and the treatment stops. They don’t want your death on their hands, so they do what they can right until they can’t.

If they don’t stop, the treatment kills the patient sooner than cancer, which is the opposite of the proverbial ‘Win-Win.’

Mainstream Medical Advice

Bucking the system is fine if you have minor medical problems. Every scratch and nick doesn’t need a lightning run to the Emergency Room.

At the same time, we’re not expected to take our own appendix out, or do our own tonsillectomy.

Covid is not a band aide fix. You can’t rub enough dirt on it to make it better. No number of kisses or pats or attaboys will make it all go away magically.

The strange part, at least to me, is how many people tune into to listen to virus doubters, vaccine hesitaters, and mask deniers. Strange because so many of the talking heads are allegedly vaccinated.

Who takes medical advice from slack-faced old men with no medical experience? Is it safe to act on the words of proven bullshitters when it comes to personal health concerns?

Pro tip: None of them will be holding your hand while you struggle for your next breath.

It may empower you to join the group whose main goal is ‘Sticking it to the libs,’ by why stick it to yourself in the process?

Go ahead and live your life by your own rules, but know that ‘your rules’ will intersect with the same rules the rest of us follow in America.

We all share common ground, whether it makes you feel icky or not.

A disease like covid thrives on that same common ground. In the words of the experts, “That shit will fuck you up.”

Don’t give it a fighting chance to take you down. Choose your weapons accordingly.

Be safe, not sorry.
