I have had this God Damn cough for 2 weeks. I have been without my voice for 8 days. This is rediculous! I went to the doctor last thursday and all he did was prescribe Robitussin. He said that it was most likely a bug and the only thing to do was was take cough meds and maybe Tylenol for the headaches the coughing was giving me. But it is now Tuesday and my voice is still gone and I am still coughing. The medical profession is a crock and this guy should be stripped of his license. This whole thing only strengthens my distain for the whole field.

Don't get me wrong. Doctors, as people, can be cool and they may even do good sometimes but ultimately they are only as effective as God wants them to be. If God says someones time is up then its up. No doctor on the planet can change that.

What I said above is a valid point but I think I am talking out of my a**. The truth is I hate going to the doctor because I'm uncomfortable around the sick, Listening to screaming children anytime let alone while I am ill is not a good idea, I feel most nurses are patronizing or inept and the smell grosses me out. Not to mention you wait an hour minimum just to have the doctor come in, poke at you a bit, and then prescribe Tylenol and tell you to sleep more and drink plenty of fluids.

I'm sure having my hand broken by a doctor when I was 4 doesn't help my whole outlook on thiseither. heh.
