An Israeli Short Story On The Modern Way Of Treating Diseases

An Israeli short story on the modern way of treating diseases:

I was on the stairwell and suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my left ear. My wife insisted that I see a doctor.

The doctor looked at my ears in detail, took about half an hour to look up, and then told me that he was going to prescribe 6 penicillin tablets, which would clear the buildup in my left ear. Two days later, the itching was gone, and my left ear seemed to be reborn!

The only thing that still affected my mood was that I had red spots on my abdomen that were extremely itchy and unbearable. I immediately went to see a dermatologist, who only glanced at me and said to me that some people are not suitable for taking penicillin, so they may have allergic reactions. Don't worry, just take 12 chlortetracycline pills and everything will be normal in a few days. Chlortetracycline had the desired effect and the spots disappeared.

However, I developed swollen knees and a high fever. I staggered and dragged myself to a senior doctor. He reassured me that this symptom is often related to the efficacy of chlortetracycline. He gave me 32 oxytetracycline tablets. A miracle happened! The high fever is gone, and so is the swelling in my knees.

However, I developed fatal pain in my kidneys. The expert was invited to my bedside. He concluded that the fatal pain was the result of taking oxytetracycline. It must not be taken lightly. After all, the kidneys are a critical part of the body. So he asked a female nurse to give me several injections of chlortetracycline, which eliminated all the bacteria in my body. After all that, while there was not even a living bacteria in my body, my muscles and nerve bundles also suffered the same fate as the bacteria.

Now, the doctor says that only a large dose of chloramphenicol can save my life. So, I took a large dose of chloramphenicol... A few days later, people who admired me came to attend my funeral. In their touching eulogy, they described my strong fight against the disease.

However, when I arrived in the underworld, I accidentally realized that my original problem, the itching in my left ear, was actually caused by a mosquito bite... I finally learned that when a doctor uses medicine to treat a disease, he usually only cures the problem he is responsible for, and it is not his responsibility if damage occurs to other organs.

This novel is called "Drug Relay". Many things enslave us in the world, and drugs are undoubtedly one of them. Current medical treatments may remove the "symptoms" on the surface, but they do not adequately treat the root cause. On the contrary, when treating disease "A", the side effects of the drug brought out disease "B", and then when treating diseases A and B, disease "C" appeared again... As a result, the more diseases were treated, the more the disease became. The more important it is, the more expensive it will be.

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly friends must be aware of health care, pay attention to nutritional balance, exercise appropriately, maintain an optimistic attitude, and strive to avoid getting sick and please go to the hospital less often. Stay healthy
