Strep it...
What is with antibiotics?
lets break the word down for a sec.
Anit (against) Bio (life) tics (tastes icky going down)
So this is something that kills the disease shortly before (hopefully) it kills you.
I had strep this last weekend. I know I know I was gonna have HAM stories. Nope I have fever stories. I'm getting old. old I say. I'm 34 (hear me yelling like an old man) 34 I say! In my day when they cultured you for strep they sent your ass home with NOTHING. Nothing and then when they got the results in 48 hours then... and only then would they give you anything to help.
So now they guy takes a giant cue tip and rubs my tonsil (that sounds obscene and it... IS) it fucking hurts. It hurts bad. Guess what fucker? its INFECTED. Of course that hurt.
Ok so I have to say the fucker was fast. He was in and out of my throat with that giant swab from hell. It looks like a cue tip that giant squid would use to clean something you don't want to think about next time you're eating callamarri.
and I gagged. Oh I gagged wholesale. I had excessive gags. Well he rubbed my tonsil so thats what you get. But he was quick. He was back with the results with the new test (the rapid test) and I was so pathetic, I was still gagging. I could feel the swab hit for hours after.
And he came back in and wrote me a little paper with a fountain pen. He uses a fountain pen. That is way cool I think and this Doc write calligraphy prescriptions. So of course the pharmacy has to one up the guy and they have a monk on staff from the 1500s who illuminates my drug interaction warning sheet with those big letters at the start of each paragraph. its special. And... AND its all true.
So antibiotics. I got three.
Not three kinds
Three
Not three weeks
nope
Three days.
three pills.
I shit you not. one a day for 3 days and you're done. Just done. you gotta like that. They are big. (not like big like my car big, but big like a big ass pill) but you're done that quick.
pretty sweet.
It used to be 2 the first day and one a day for 4 more days for a 5 day series but now with even commercials getting faster you have to get your antibiotics done really quick or the person will lose interest and tune in another pharmaceutical.
so there you have it. I'm cured. But my throat still hurts like he left a piece of that giant cue tip in there...
So rather than syrup he gave me vicadan for the cough. That works... night night. no cough cause you're asleep and happy... it did work.
