In day of olde when you were sick, you sought out a sooth sayer or witch doctor or warlock. Some magical person that could cure you. If you could stomach the potion then you might just fall asleep or you might start vomiting and fall into coma and then into the great unknown. Some survived some did not. If you did well they wanted to make sure you were strong enough so they would bleed you in various ways, leeches, knives and needles.
How nice that now adays medicine has changed so much. Now they introduce antibiotics that burn your veins and any tissue it touches, you slip in and out of a canatonic sleep induced by the use of pain killers so you do not feel the antibiotics . When they can no longer find veins they send you home with pills that causes you to sleep eat get sick and sleep.
They did say That I am without infection now but I am waiting for the leeches.

There is a reason that they are called "practicing physicians." Glad that you are progressing, continuing to hope that you gain in strength and well-being as time passes. I'd recommend not partaking of the leeches, actually.
