Chapter 23. Healthcare.
Hi there.
Yesterday I felt a little bit sick. I suppose it was a virus. Lots of people around me suffer from the same symptoms. I slept all the day long and missed my blog. I'm sorry. Now I'm recovering, thank you very much. I always sleep when I'm ill. I just let my organism take care of itself. If the disease lasts for a long time I read books or watch movies. I'm afraid in the last years it's the only time when I read paper books. And what are you usually do when you are ill?
And how do you cure? Do you rely on a doctor? Is it expensive in your region? Or you help it youself, like me. I never rely on a doctor unless there is no more chance. Unfortunately, medicine have been dieing over here and it's nearly dead. Doctors don't cure even for money. They or can not or don't want. Several years ago I fell with pneumonia and was stupid to ask an official doctor for help. Instead of cure the doctor made me do endless series of analyses so I almost died. It makes me shiver to remember that time. Since that I cure myself. Of course, it requires additional knowledge and we read medical books. The only use from a doctor is getting medical papers like drug recipe (if it's requred) an so on. So often it happens fun: I come to a doctor, tell him my disease, appropriate cure and just ask for the recipe.
As a result, the question of preventive healthcare rises with all the necessity. And it's a tough question. Especially taking into consideration that we have not many facilities to improve our healt in advance. Do you have any advise on this theme?
Alex.

its really sad to know that medicine is at an all time low in Russia. I remeber there used to be a time when a medicine degreee frome Russia meant a lot. timed have changed, though not for better
I am a Chinese university student. We all live in dorm,which is cold,for the heat facility is still not quite prepared.I caught cold several times,often I take some pill and wait for my recovery,seldom see a doctor. My English is still poor,so forgive my mistakes.Thank you!
I really apreciate the place the way and the activities you practice.It is completly diffrent from our country since living in Algeria under the lovely weather does not let us think about taking things like medicine.Besides, I persennaly can not bear the hotness of summer here, to some extent Iam attracted by the snow an the rain you have there.I am thinking of visiting Russia to enjoy the romantic weather exists there.thank you so much.
