Good medicine

Some say laughter is good medicine. Some say certain pills are good medicine. Some say ice cream, I guess because it tastes good, is good medicine.

There is a man that spent his life working hard, doing all he could do to get the job done. One day he got a headache. So he took some medicine to relieve the pain. Some days later, working hard, this young man got another headache. This time it was more severe. He soon began getting migraines and decided to see a doctor. So, the doctor gave him some medicine for the migraines that went away. But something else began to happen. He began to lose blood. This young man went to the doctors again where he passed out in the ER.

The doctor found that the young man had a bleeding ulcer that had ruptured an artery. Losing a large amount of blood, the young man almost lost his life. Fortunately he recovered. He realized that he had put so much stress on his body by working that his body gave up.

Stress kills. a good medicine against stress is to just relax. Take it easy. Take some time to enjoy life. Have a good laugh. Don’t work your body to death. You only have one.

What do you consider good medicine?
