Side effects

Modern medicine is probably one of the most dangerous things in my world today.

It knows a little bit about how to treat symptoms and it goes about that with unbridled zeal.

It admits that not all bodies react the same way, but in the interest of doing good work, it does whatever works on the highest common denominator.  Curing some.  Killing some.  Maybe helping the others -- some.

Unfortunately, it also does lots of unintentional harm. 

Left to heal on its own, my body often takes a long time, but it also does a custom job geared precisely to me and what I need while eliminating unnecessary side effects and complications.

I think medical interference needs to come as a last resort instead of a first.  At least for those of us whose bodies do okay on their own and have radical reactions to outside chemicals.
