I have worked in a Hospital for the last 15 years in various capacities. I am not a Doctor, Nurse, or a Clinician of any sort and have never tried to pretend otherwise.


To some in real life it doesen't seem to matter, and so I gently ask:


Please stop asking me for medical advice, I am not HOUSE.

    I too agree that it is not only unfair, but somewhat inadvisable to ask for medical opinions from people without a license to practice medicine.

    As a small child, I remember racing to the nearest hospital ER with my aunt. She had nearly lost conciousness and nearly lost her arm to a serious infection.

    A day or so before this incident, my aunt noticed a painful boil on her arm. She didn't think it was worth telling anyone that the "boil" had grown over a puncture wound she had accidentally inflicted on herself while boning a fish for the family dinner.

    My paternal step-grandmother, a wonderful warm woman who hailed from Sicily in Italy, was a practioner of herbal medicine, and Strega Nona witch-spell healing as well. Noticing my aunt's "boil", she promptly accessed her vast store of knowledge regarding the treatment of boils. Her home remedy of choice was a poultice consisting of a romaine lettuce leaf, a slice of plum tomato, and a slice of Genoa salami, surmounted by a piece of day-old bread about to mold. The entire thing was tied on with string soaked in vinegar.

    Two days later, upon our arrival at the ER, my aunt was admitted with twelve inch long, purple lines radiating upward from her forearm towards her shoulder. She had come very close to losing her arm to gangrene and possibly losing her life as well. The ER doctor in attendance told the family that an infection should be treated with antibotics not ante pasta.

    My Grandmother (may God rest her soul), was extremely miffed. I mean, considering that her treatment of raw slices of new potatoes tied around the head in dirty rag prooved very effective for migraine headaches, how could she not be offended?

    Well it's time for me to to get back to work now. I've got at least three patients lined up in my waiting room. I have asked them to arrive on time, but they will come early. I guess it's an OCD thing. Oh well, what can you expect when you're running a Holistic Psychiatry practice?

      KiP,

      God bless your Grandmother's well meaning attempts, LOL.

      I hope your Aunt was OK.

      My GrandMother (Wife of Deceased Cherokee Grandfather) was of old school Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and a strong believer in home remedies, of which DCG was often the one she experimented on.

      While nothing she did hastened his departure to the happy hunting grounds, I remember a couple of occasions where he stated he'd rather die than endure another one of her "Treatments".

      ~Hopes for Deceased Cherokee GrandFather's sake she's gotten better in the afterlife, for eternity is a long time to suffer at the hands of a determined Dutch woman he opines in the ROYAL House of better you than me Gramps, Blues~
