In Czechia they still prescribe visits to the spa

My dad's doctor actually did! He said since it seemed there were problems with feeling oxygen deprived, and we lived at high altitude, try taking a visit to the ocean.

Oh, if I was picking something for an old timey doctor to prescribe me it would probably be laudanum

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 5 points 2 hours ago

Or cocaine .. but why not both?

[-] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Or heroin, the new, non addictive cough medicine!

And anything with radium, of course.

I suddenly get why women are so disillusioned about the modern medical system...

"What do you mean I can't just have some coke and goon?"

TBF I'm not a woman and I'm still disillusioned. The amount of times I've heard from doctors more or less verbatim "I don't know what to do" ... might as well prescribe recreational drugs and tell me to goon.

What about going to the thermae and an olive oil scrapping?

[-] viertesauge@feddit.org 8 points 4 hours ago

they still do though..

A GP (doctor) once recommended walking in nature - something to do with fractals being pleasing to the eye - and now many years later I really do appreciate how much I enjoy and feel energised after walking in nature.

He also probably prescribed some chemicals.
