Antibiotic Warfare

A coworker just stopped by my office and informed me that I have what he had. An early fever followed by six weeks of coughing. It turned into pneumonia for him. He had a three-day antibiotic then was later given a five-day one to kick it. He changed doctors over his frustration. Today a PA gave me a five-day, so hopefully I'll kill it outright.

A good way to kick an illness is to take up smoking. And hard drinking.

I have a friend that when sick drinks whiskey until he is almost dead. Then when the hanover is finally gone his illness is gone also.

i was once advised by a professor (who shall remain anonymous) at a certain small college about the best way to kick the flu:
1. get a bottle of whiskey
2. get ready for bed
3. put a hat at the end of your bed
4. drink whiskey until you see two hats at the end of your bed
5. go to sleep
