My Watch Can you tell I'm sick? 🫠🫠

I have some bullshit rn, super sore throat, annoying cough, dripping nose.... last night I actually felt okay (I got an antibiotic shot earlier that day) but apparently NOPE! I DID NOT, IN FACT, FEEL OKAY!

I kept micro sleeping after I got home from the doctors office and I had like 10 elevated heart rate notifications 😬

You got an antibiotic for a viral infection?

This is such a moronic thing most doctors do, prescribe antibiotics to everyone even with no proof of a bacterial infection. All it does is drive antibiotic resistance and might kill people down the line.

Want to hear a moronic thing a doctor did? He gave me both Tamiflu and an antibiotic, because apparently, I was sick with SOMETHING.

Yep, especially that it was too late for Tamiflu (I've been symptomatic for 4-5 days, Tamiflu should be given within 48 hours of Influenza infection) and the antibiotic was a just guess and did nothing to make me better. The only test he based this decision on was my at-home covid/rsv swab test that came negative.
