Hospital wards were a nightmare years ago.
My great grandfather was a doctor and we got to look at his old books from the 1800's.
The things people had were horrifying to say the least.
The pictures graphic treatments even worse.
I think people forget or just dont know how bad it was sometimes or just how lucky we are today.

The whole movement against antibiotics blows me away.
If we did that or food supplies would go to nothing and there wouldn't be any meat to eat.

The biggest problem is people not taking the complete prescription.
Just the other day I was working with a guy that did just that.
Didn't take it all.
You would think everyone would know better by now but I guess not.

I am still not a fan of running to every antibiotic ointment dispenser I see and using it.
We at Tomatoville are a unique group of people and tend to be more educated either self or formally and more well rounded than most of the general public.
I can tell this just by the conversations we have here.
I cant have them with regular folks.
