Some illnesses are not mentioned, but are causing a lot of discomfort for those who are inflicted by them. No need to go see a doctor, when you are embarrassed about your ailment; just go to the internet and find out what drugs you can order to cure yourself. But, is it wise to be your own pharmacist? For those who do see a pharmacist, their behaviour gives them away, as the outcome of a Pharmacy survey shows. Several types of ‘ashamed buyers’ can be recognized, so the behaviour of those shoppers gives them away as sufferers from a humiliation illness.
Personal comment:
I wonder if an article like this one turns more and more people to the internet. Being your own GP and buying your own drugs without consulting a professional pharmacist can be very dangerous and even life threatening. I am afraid that those who feel ashamed might get in serious trouble, because they are not using the right prescriptions. I feel for those who feel embarrassed, but medicating yourself might turn out to be Russian roulette and sometimes the damages done, can not be undone. So, put aside your shame; go see your GP, buy your drugs at your local pharmacist’s; lots of others have preceded you.
It is very dangerous to be your own pharmacist. i have worked in a hospital and have seen terrible things due to wrong medication. People really need not be ashamed for whatever it is they are suffering from.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI personally choose to use medicine as a last option, when nothing else works at all. Putting chemicals in your body, which mostly have side effects, is a bad idea. Being able to choose medicine right from the internet is absurd. I would say that if you are really afraid or ashamed to go to a professional, you might better use alternative methods to be healed. At least you are sure you won’t be harmed by the chemicals of which you have no idea what kind of effects they have on your body.
