Modern Medicine: What we did to deserve it. (Revised)

[Guest guest]

correct our lifestyle and get back to health with a prolonged natural

detoxification process (soo boring!) or to destroy the external manifestations,

push the toxins inside, take more toxins as medicines and pretend to be healthy.

Modern medicine offered us the second option and we grabbed it, accustomed that

we were to pushing our problems under the carpet. But today the carpet is

barely visible as a tiny spot atop the mountain of problems it pretends to

hide. The problems too have interacted between themselves to create more

problems. They have spilled over to make more heaps without even having the

excuse of a tiny fig leaf carpet to cover them. The problems have become

famous, are given attractive names, and have become the fuel for the fastest

growing and most profitable industry in the world. The problems have become the

subject

matter of researchers who look upon them as oppurtunities. Today we would not

survive without the problems. The more the problems, the faster our economy

grows. Unfortunately the problems hurt. They hurt us. They hurt our pockets.

They hurt our productivity. They hurt our income. They hurt our intelligence.

They hurt our sensibilities. They test our patience. They make our crime graph

shoot through the roof. They destroy our social fabric. They make it impossible

for us to grin and bear them for they sap our life, making us die in hordes. The

pile up of bodies have now started to exceed the pile of problems. This is the

real problem. These problems cannot become famous. They cannot be given

attractive names. They can only become fuel for the undertaker industry. These

problems cannot be hidden any longer, because these problems stink. They

attract gory

nulls and carrol-in-din-s. Detestable nosy vermins. So what do we do? We blame

the natural world for these problems. Too much natural supplements are killing

us. The herbalists are the culprits. Why do people take food? Let medicine be

thy food. We agree. Organic food is so costly. The stay in hospitals give us

the much needed break. The hospital roofs are cleaner than the homeopaths

floor. The needles here hurt much less than at the accupuncturists table. The

nurses are more good looking than the dour faces of the chiropracts. The

hospitals even play music, better than the ones played by the reiki frauds.

There is no need to exercise unlike what our yoga teacher says. You just have

to lie and watch the doctors and nurses fill you up with toxins, cut you up,

bombard you with x-rays, push tubes inside you, and make you pay for the

ordeal. And

the hospitals don't give you any false promises. Either you live with your

severely aggravated disease or you die. Simple. Fair enough. The homeopaths

endless questions are so tiring. Herbs are so difficult to find. And who wants

to get bitten by the bees anyway when birds are so plenty at the hosps? And

so modern medicine survives. It prospers. It spreads.
