I'm very hick about a few things. It makes me sound very uneducated but medicine is very hard for me to comprehend. It's not that I'm distrustful; I know it does work. However, medicine was always taboo for me growing up. It was seen as giving into the weakness, rather than naturally fighting off illness.
Doctor visits for always for my broken bones (and I've broken a lot of things) until I was about 17. When I was 17, I went to the doctor because I thought I had strep throat. That was the first time I went for an illness. And, as it turns out, I didn't even have strep throat so I felt incredibly stupid.
Growing up in a small town, advice is medicine. I know many people who think microwaves are dangerous and contact lenses will give you eye problems. But I do think that people should be more cautious about medicine. I try not to take medicine when I'm sick. I drink fluids and sleep it off. I don't even like to use hairspray because of the chemicals.
