Yesterday at tuts.
I used the word red blood cells. My lecturer told me that I should be using the proper term for RBCs.
I didn't know RBCs is not a proper term. Frog in my throat is unacceptable but RBCs is perfectly fine. How many laymen knew erythrocytes anyway? Jargons.
Today at lecture.
My lecturer revealed that she dislike the idea of using cough suppressant immediately whenever there is a cough. Cough is a protective mechanism helps to clear the breathing passages from irritants and foreign particles she said. It is a good thing. Just like my sneezing @ allergic rhinitis back in Malaysia, it is a protective mechanism and I am proud because I taken no measure to try and get rid of them.
I think I like my lecturer a little more now.
More often than not I have weird thoughts of my own. We should not turn to medicine every chance we have is one of them. Personally, I resist any use of medication and my rationale is - the usage of medication impairs your body own healing processes.
Once you are on it, you are going to rely on the medication each time. No supplements, no medication and I do not get the usual cold or cough often. The last time I had a cough and fever was three years ago. My theory serves me well. I only sneeze every now and then, and sneezing is good.
I too believe that the usage antibiotic does more harm than good because it kills the good bacteria along with the bad ones and make you more susceptible to minor illnesses in future; and I am studying to be a pharmacist, how irony.
