honestly just modern medicine and indoor plumbing/water treatment
the amount of not dying from random infections we do these days, no wonder there are so many humans
If it weren't for modern medicine, I'd have been dead over a decade ago since I have an autoimmune disorder that is treated with a weekly injection. Whenever there are discussions about societal disorder, my first thoughts are wondering how long I would last without the medicine.
:(
no way for you to be prescribed an emergency supply and get self injection training?
Unfortunately, the medication lasts about a year before it expires. However, that's in the fridge. At room temperature, the medication only last 14 days before it goes bad.
I appreciate your concern so much tho! I'm having a terrible day, so your care made it a bit nicer. Thank you very much 🥹
I hope you have some better days soon. You deserve good days <3
