Good day, amazing people of the hive block chain. Welcome back to my block. I am so happy participating in today's #hivelearners weekly prompt.
Self-medication is not a new thing for me since I was young. Till now, my parents have been my doctors, and I am their patient. There came a time in my life when I was like, How come my parents are so good in this? They will prescribe or get drugs for me. If I take the drugs within two or three days, I will be strong and healthy. I grew up with my grandmother. That woman will be the last person that will take me to the hospital if I'm sick. She will rush inside the bush and get some herbs for me to take. The amazing thing about these drugs is that if they give me the herbal medicine, I will be strong within 24 hours.
I don’t think it was because of finances that made my parents practice self-medication. My parents will always tell us that is not all sickness that you will visit the doctor; some are minor sickness that paracetamol can cure. That is the main reason my parents practice self-meditation before my parents take us to the hospital. Just know that the sickness is above them. Most people practice self-meditation due to a lack of money.
Whatever has advantages, because self-meditation is good because it saves cost, but it also has disadvantages. I will share my experience of how my dad nearly lost his life, all in the name of self-meditation.
The year 2019 taught me and my family a very big lesson. One faithful morning i wake up and i complain to my parents that am having stomach pain as usual my dad run to a nearby shop where the sell herb drugs he return back home with some herb concoction for me he gave me the drugs i couldn’t not go to school because my dad said i need to rest so that the herb will work very well on me. Before then, I have been complaining to my parents about the pain I feel in my stomach. Each time I complain, my dad will go and get me some herb drugs, and my mom will always tell him to take me to the hospital. When I woke up from sleep, my stomach was still paining me; in fact, it was twice the pain when my siblings returned from school and met me very weak. They were so afraid that they had to call my dad because I was lifeless that I needed to see a doctor. My dad told my elder sister to give me the remaining herb drugs he bought in the morning.
Innocent me I so much believe in my dad's medication. I never knew that self-meditation would go wrong. When my mom came back from work, I was at the point of death. My mom couldn’t wait for my dad to return from work. She rushed me to the hospital, where some tests were run. It happens that I have an appendix. I was booked for surgery immediately (the next morning) because the doctor said if I waste time, the appendix will kill me. Immediately, my mom made some payments.
When my dad came to the hospital, he was so sorry that he could have killed her daughter due to self-meditation. My dad learnt his lesson in a hard way since if we complain to our parents, they will take us to the hospital no matter how minor the sickness maybe.
Am so grateful to God that the surgery was successful; that is how I could have lost my life due to self-meditation. No matter how cheap self-meditation is, maybe it is not advisable to say no to self-meditation.
This is my entry on the ongoing content #hivelearners #Hl-w130e1 topic of self-meditation.
