I Am No Doctor But

I am no doctor but I think when someone comes in who has had strep throat 13, 728 times, you might want to do a test. I am no doctor, but I think when you tell someone good for you - you have not tested positively for strep, so it must be viral you might want to check to see if a throat culture was even taken. I am no doctor, but I do know some things. I am no doctor, but I was so glad to not have the gagging sticky thing put into my throat, I raced out with pure happiness, glad that I am no doctor and I am obviously strep free!

When I had strep throat in my teens, the doctor gave me some kind of drug that made me loopy, I had the craziest thoughts (should have written them down!)

Glad you're out the woods, these ailments you just don't need. Tom.

I was being sarcastic; they really did forget to do a throat culture.

I had strep for three weeks in my 20's; I couldn't breathe, eat or drink anything hardly. Why did I have it so long? The doctor at the local clinic told me I had an infection and gave me the wrong antibiotics. Once I got another to give me the right one; it healed within 4 days. Go figure...Glad you don't have it.

I am glad that I THINK I do not have it; I am determined to heal myself this way since the clinic messed up.
