Do you know how to be sick? Do you know what to do on your own setting aside medical attention for a minute? What's the old saying feed a cold starve a fever? What ever do you try to go on as business as usual? Are you in control of your body functions? Can you handle pain or discomfort? Do you go out the way not to infect others? I know some you would never they were sick and others want the world to come to a halt because they have a cold and are miserable.
With things like the flu and accompanying stomach problems like the runs & vomit do YOU know what to do without a prescription. Reason I ask this I once had a doctor tell me you should let a stomach virus run it's course, shouldn't use stuff like immodium etc. Said you are countering what the body wants to do which is natures way of literally getting rid of the virus, germ etc. I realize there are dangers like dehydration but shouldn't we be taught how to handle some medical conditions on our own without medical technology. He also told me that citric acid in real fruit juice(not Kool-Aid) is good for nausea. Not a lot but some real lemon juice in water well help with nausea. Only drink REAL fruit juice before boating now and cut sea sickness episodes down to almost nothing. I've found with things like stomach problems is the rule of three. 1)Stop eating 2)Drink plenty of clear fluids and 3) Don't even think about it's over until you had at least three emergency trips to the bathroom. Point being stay home, in bed for a day near a bathroom and do not eat, DRINK but do not eat. Yeah if you start seeing blurry or you get a high fever call a doctor. Also it would be nice if you cleaned the area you hung out sick at when you are better.
Reason I ask is with this Ebola patient vomiting outside his apartment. Did he try eating normal again? Doesn't your body have to have some fluid to expel(this is why dehydration can become a problem because the body will pull from itself) I've always heard the body can go weeks without food unless a pre existing condition. But water is another story. Even when "healthy" people don't know to drink enough WATER or that milk is a food and not a fluid.
Can you go through some of the more common and not as dangerous medical events without declaring a national emergency.
