Diseases are often a strain test. Not only for body, but also for relationship. Banal, but annoying: cold. There are fierce fights not only in affected, between immune system and cold pathogens. No, even in environment of sick it comes to, let's say: tensions. For example, if affected person once again coughs up night and thus all unaffected awake. Or if he pave way into bedroom with germ-contaminated tissues. There was anor conflict with us. Meanwhile, we have cleared him out of way, but it's not too long ago that... Oh, best from front.
Whenever one of our children was sick – sniffing, coughing, earache, usual level – re was a dispute between us parents. The one of us (we call No name) n quickly had telephone handset in hand to call pediatrician; The or (we do not mention a name again) was mostly waiting for it. It was like this:
"Let's see if it doesn't get better by itself."
"But little one has a sore throat, I think pediatrician should definitely check it out."
"I think nasal drops and a pain suppository range. We don't have to go to doctor. "
"Yes, but don't you think that boy is hearing badly? We have to be clear about that! "
"He doesn't listen to us at all. Well, best doctor can't do anything. "
This text comes from time Knowledge magazine 6/17. You can purchase current booklet at kiosk or here.Mostly parental dispute ended with visit to doctor. And finally in pharmacy to get prescribed antibiotic. We just went to safe number, as one would like to say. But it was certain that means would not benefit our children. We already suspected it, no: actually we knew it. In ory, at least. We studied both medicine, and we learn that most respiratory diseases are caused by viruses. And antibiotics don't matter, y only act against bacteria. But it is something else when your child becomes ill. Then you want something done immediately. Because re could be complications, and one could be exception of cold and yet benefit from antibiotic. Besides, you can't just do nothing!
Like us, it's a lot of people. And once you are with doctor, expectation is great that something is being done. After all, you don't like sitting in crowded waiting room with your nose, head and limb pain or or Malaisen for hours, and n you hear: "We're not doing anything at all!" Many doctors know exactly. They often lack guts to do nothing and wait.
