Medical Institutions.

Ok, so, I don't like dentists that much, I do not like pharmacies, I dislike doctors offices, and I definitely dislike hospitals.

Each of those are for different reasons, but still.

Dentists aren't that bad. I actually really like all the nifty tools and cool things they do. Mouths and teeth are really cool and interesting. This is a valid future career aspiration right here. But this is an exception to the rule. (unless you count vets, then there may be two exceptions to the rules (and I guess I don't dislike orthodontists or optometrists that much. Irrelevant.))

In general, I dislike public medical institutions.

Pharmacies I have a large problem with because I dislike medications and pills and drugs and everything they sell to you to 'make you better.' Before it was just this uneasy superstition that they make them in such a way that you don't quite get all the way better so you have to buy more and keep buying more, or make it slightly addictive to keep you coming back. Anything to make a million dollars off the guy who is dying. But now, in addition to that, in the last couple years I've heard a lot more about how the medical system in Canada looks for a problem and then prescribes the solution, which may or may not treat the problem. That absolutely stinks. And I have definitely seen these happen in my mom's life. Like there's gotta be a problem when the only way you can live is by consuming massive amounts of medical powders in coloured pill form or capsules. >.>... Like I don't even like the idea that people need coffee to wake up in the morning.

Anyways, lol. I dislike doctors offices. All the prodding and cold things and etc. >.> But especially is the shots. I can not stand shots. >.<

Finally, hospitals. I kinda feel like they end up being the place people die... Like 70-90 year-old people who are not in really good health end up here every other week, pretty much until they can't leave then they die. >.> Not really enjoyable. There's just this mood in the air, this stuffiness, the sounds of incomprehensible groaning, the inevitability, no one actually getting better or leaving. >.>

Now, all this is not to say that I don't think people get sick. Viruses exist. Bacteria exist. Injury and wounds and disease exist. And God is our healer. That isn't to say I will to the death avoid these places. God can use doctors and nurses and medicine to heal, not just miraculous healing. I am really glad I got to go to a hospital when I broke my wrist. I am very glad I could take some pills that gave me funny dreams instead of getting malaria. I am very glad that people are willing to take on the years and years of studying and working to become doctors and nurses, especially those who just exude joy to the patients.

But that isn't going to stop me from praying that God would heal, that He would step in and guide the doctors to the real problem, that He would work powerfully and remove the need for prolonged medication, that He would step in and heal my mom.

I praise His name for how my mom has been getting better. And I will continue to pray for her.

I just won't like being in a hospital when I go to see her. lol.

Ttyl.
