you get a scratch, you die in pain from infection a week later
Calvin Coolidge Jr. died from sepsis in 1924. He was playing tennis and got a blister on his foot, it was infected and there were no meds to stop the infection.
Tennis: Not even once.
Bob Marley died from ~~gangrene following a football injury on his toe. ~~ cancer in his toe. Guess I heard it wrong.
I assume he had ‘reasons’ not to go to a doctor?
I used to work in the American medical system and I can speak for hours about all the abuses and stupid mistakes Western medicine can make. But I can do even more on how people hurt themselves by not going to doctors.
There was a fellow who had arm apin and went to a chiropractor. Heart attack.
Marley rejected his doctors’ advice to have his toe amputated, which would have hindered his performing career, citing religious beliefs.
He was perfectly entitled to make that decision?
Peg Leg Bates.
Famous one legged dancer Marley would almost certainly ahve heard of.
If you’re lucky, the scratch didn’t come with the predator’s fangs on your throat
I imagined they would be squatting for shits
It still counts as standing cuz you’re on your feet.
What’s stopping you from shitting standing up now?
Low-fiber diet I guess.
Are you describing Los Angeles? Toilet is everywhere. You can shit standing up. Sleep until noon. Nothing makes sense.
You can murder the neighbor and steal his wife… (Reminder for anyone disliking civilization)
