My doctor gave me stitches while smoking. He was also the same doctor that delivered me. Wonder if he smoked while I was birthed?
When I was a kid the Dr. put his cigarette in an ashtray and gave me a shot in the butt. LOL
Back in 1960, my dad had his first heart problems. he went to the doctor for a checkup and asked if the cigarettes might be the problem with his short breath.
The Doctor then said...”Hell, cigarettes won’t hurt you!” The Dr. then offered my dad a cigarette and they both smoked and talked together in the office.
The official records for our family deaths list “Acute Indigestion” as the cause. When I had my first chest pains I was treated for acute indigestion. Finally they gave me a scan and found a plugged heart artery. I dodged the bullet on that.
Wonder if THAT is really what killed my ancestors instead of indigestion.
