Army Thread 16 November
Actually, they're probably right about the antibiotics. My sister-in-law used to give her younger daughter antibiotics every time she got a sniffle. For years now, she gets a really bad cold every winter and it takes her at least a month to shake it off. She's 30 now. The antibiotics she took as a child seem to have made her body immune to them now. She still takes them but they really don't do anything.
Loved that Calpol thing and the 50 quid. The doctors here will prescribe anything you want them to. They have only just now gotten a new system started where the doctor's office writes you a prescription from a computerized system and the pharmacy fills it with the same system. That way they can keep tabs on which doctors are over-prescribing. It was costing the health insurance systems a fortune for all the unnecessary drugs that were being handed out.

That is fantastic Oney. You must be very proud of him. I think for men who are used to going out with their pals to the pub on a regular basis that they probably come under more pressure than women do. I mean it must be really hard for him if he goes with the guys to the pub and they're all drinking and he's not. And hard for him to refuse to go because it's just something he's so used to doing. Good for him!!

I would have brought her yesterday afternoon tho, if she had not improved. I think as a Mum, you know the signs, I brought poor Adam to the docs for every little sniffle when he was younger lol!
