    60 years ago I went down with Nephritis. The doc took 2 days to find anything that explained why I'd stopped eating. As a kid that was unheard of and my mother stood her ground and insisted he came back for another home visit. He took a blood sample and delivered it personally to the lab and waited for the result there, and then bolted straight back with some speccy antibiotics that had only been available for a while. Touch and go, nearly a hospital job and apparently I would have died 5 years earlier. 6 weeks recovery and I still remember vividly feeling so bad I wanted to die to make it stop. How many others since then, and all the new drugs. Try refusing medicine in your kids lives till they're adult enough to decide for themselves before you diss it. How many funerals do we not see anymore because of such things.
