I went to the dermatologist two days ago for a beautification treatment (I wish!--it was actually supposed to treat rosacea...) and came out looking like a plague victim...
My face is covered with swollen scabby black and purple bruises over chin, cheek, nose and forehead. According to the eye-witness accounts I have read of the appearance of those with the worst type of plague, they had these awful hemorrhages under their skin rather like swollen bruises... sound familiar?
This is certainly a case of the treatment being worse than the disease. Why trade an everyday existence of a little scaly redness on cheek and chin that gets worse in the cold for 5 to 7 days of serious disfigurement every three months?
But we have all been brainwashed to believe that medicine, the medical establishment, and most especially the pharmaceutical industry can cure all our ills, make our lives perfect, save the world, assure us we'll go to heaven when we die--or guarantee that we never will or that when we do we'll look like we did when we were 20 years old...
And I've fallen for it just like everyone else... better living by chemistry and then you die.
