My doctor wanted to give me some shots about ten years ago. Do you want the flu shot? No, Do you want blah, blah, blah shot? NO. What about tetanus? It's been more than ten years you had the tetanus shot. Okay. THEN THE DOCTOR SMILED. Kind of a smirky smile. Had to watch her face real quick or I would have missed it. I thought of back tracking on that oral agreement right away, but didn't have a real good reason besides her shady behavior.

I think about that moment all the time now. Maybe later when she diagnosed me with general anxiety, it was from that. I don't know. But I think back of why did I agree to tetanus shot?

So I guess it is still not culturally okay yet to say F U to these doctors when they suggest any shot?

It's getting worse. You're now considered "prehypertensive" if you systolic pressure's (upper number) 120... We need to stop feeding these trolls with M.D.s
