It’s not just the government. I have had two nurses tell me that anytime you bleed from a scratch you should go to the doctor. Generating business, I guess. And that is what they are teaching everyone now.
It’s not the bleeding cuts that will get you, it’s the ones that don’t bleed. I have never gone to a doctor for a wound, I just hit it with Peroxide if it is a larger one and bandage it up and continue doing what I was doing before.
What can/should a doctor do that I can't? I can clean it, put on peroxide/alcohol and bandage it. If the doctor gives out a prescription for general antibiotics without any indication of an infection or knowledge of what type of bacteria is causing it then he is putting everyone at risk for developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which is worse than then one in a thousand minor cuts which gets infected and really needs antibiotics.
Same here. I’m probably worse. The medical profession hates people like me. My whole family and most of my colleagues have had the swine flu. By all rationalizations, I should be sick on the couch right now, but I just take my daily 3cc dose of colloidal silver. I feel fine.
