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!

Jan Allison Date: 12/18/2018 6:37:00 PM such a simple procedure could be done so quickly yet things are so often overlooked, seems to be happening more and more often:-( hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 12/19/2018 8:13:00 AM I know. Right?

M. L. Kiser Date: 12/18/2018 10:18:00 AM 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.
