Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to share some amusing encounters with some work friends when it comes to being sick.
One of the big things that happens nowadays, especially if you live in an area where healthcare and the allopathic model of medicine is the gold-standard for most people you interact with on a daily basis, is getting some differences of opinions! Sometimes those differences are quite considerable!
I recently had an insane sinus infection that really kicked my ass. I spoke with some of my colleagues, since we are all remote of course, and they had the normal well-wishes and all that. What all of them seemed to have ask though, is "that sucks, you must've gotten some great antibiotics to feel better the next day!!" or something along those lines. What so many of them don't understand is that just because we live in such a healthcare-focused area of the country and world, not everyone believes or follows the same stuff! I know that none of them were false in their concern of how I was doing and what was helping me feel better. It was nice to talk to folks and have them ask me how I was doing. Since we aren't all in the office anymore, you don't usually get a lot of time to spend with just off-topic banter which sucks sometimes!
Most of them I dodged the question and just reiterated that I got some great sleep and drank lots of fluids. Both of these were certainly true but definitely not what I credit with me recovering to a manageable level so quickly. Having my list of herbs, vitamins and essential oils is what really did the job of kicking shit in the ass so I could feel better!
One group that I was talking with I slipped up a bit and mentioned that I took a whole lot of vitamins and herbs and got some good sleep, to which their faces were very confused hahaha. One good thing about virtual meetings, I suppose!
They didn’t push the question again but it was kind of funny that it took them back when I mentioned herbs instead of whatever common antibiotic they were thinking of.
What was your situation you’ve been in with people who aren’t on the natural medicine path that you found funny lately? Let me know in the comments!
