chippies!!!

ok so i'm coming home last night, it's a bout midnight i'm driving along a potholed road in the bush and i was having an imaginary conversation with someone that actually prolly exists, about something i can't remember and i feel this crunch.. like i bit into.. a crumb of something hard and i was like WTF? i don't remember eating anything.. my tongue found nothing in my mouth so i thought nothing more of it, then i went to chew on my bottom lip and there was something there.. it was a chip of my fuckin front tooth!

i look like i've been in a barfight. oh it just had to be a front one didn't it? it's sharp too.. cuts my tongue.. yet for some reason my tongue just wants to keep running over it.. anyhoo so i have to book into the dentist which i fucking hate so i've been procrastinating about it all day. this is my last resort. after this there's nothing for it but to call the fuckers and prepare for a damaging bill. i'm pretty sure it's just the filling bit that's chipped off not actual tooth but i'm sure they'll find some way to charge me alot, they always do.. and i wasn't going to renew my health insurance this year! haha! yay..

and i suppose while i'm at it i better get a check up and blood test, i'm just so run down and sad and incapable of physically functioning.. i think i've had nurofen for blood for the last three weeks.. i dunno.. i eat so well and i'm on spirulina and fish oil and vitamin c and a berocca every second day so it's not like it's a nutritional issue.. i've been putting it off and putting it off..

guh.. i just hate the medical profession. they tell you "x" is wrong and you just have to take their word for it and there's no way you can check for yourself.. it's like a housewife taking her car into the mechanic.. atleast 50% of the time the guy's gonna say "oh well you need this and this and this done" so he can charge her whatever and she can't check. she just has to trust.

i don't do trust.

not when it comes to business.. which is what medicine is.. particularly dentistry..

my mum went to the doctor the day after an incident that resulted in a visit to hospital for something that ended up being fairly standardly harmless (turned out to be gall stones which heaps of people have) and the doctor said "oh we'll have to take out your gall bladder it will mean you can no longer eat blah blah and some other side effects and i've booked you in for the surgery in three weeks time"...

we have learned since that this is not in ANY WAY necessary.

i hate modern medicine.

they just want to keep the industry alive by doing as much shit to you as they can, even if you don't need it.. not that you can TELL that you don't need it.. you have to already KNOW.. or else you'll just do what the doctor says because you're afraid not to; i mean they have your best interests at heart right?

i mean they'd never prescribe you a drug you didn't require or subject you to the dangers of surgery unless you absolutely needed it right?.... RIGHT?!?!

They'd NEVER try and re-attach your mother's mangled arm after a car accident, by taking skin and nerves and muscle from all the healthy parts of her body, even though they were well aware she would never be able to use it as her shoulder was permanently dislocated, and they'd therefore have to re-amputate it along with all the other healthy bits they wasted, just so they could give trainee doctors some practice in microsurgery.. right?...........

Right?

RIGHT?!?!?!
