Pneumonia on a Budget…read more I neither have, nor want any health insurance, and my main drone, I mean bone, with President Obama is his ramming some private disease provider down America's throat. If I ever get sick, it's is a 24-hour flu and 15 minute shower when friends are all-four-up for a week to a month. But around the middle of June I got bitten by a different bug. Friday night I had a zombie temperature of 95.4 and felt too cool to touch. Saturday made up for it as I warmed up to 102.8. I bought my traditional Sambu Guard at Everybody's and feasted on kiwi fruit. I felt feverish but told my wife I will be as good as new come Sunday. Oops... not quite! The following week I had fever up to 104, and I was too sick to write a will. I remembered when my daughter got inconvenient pneumonia on our way to Florida 19 years ago. I prescribed her an hourly dose of garlic until poor Ligaya gagged. Finally we stopped in some hospital emergency room. The doctor there treated her to some antibiotic and three days later Ligaya was swimming across the Atlantic Ocean. Thus, I tried antibiotics my wife brought from Ukraine where you can buy them like cabbage. No budge. Whenever I coughed, I was choking and frankly felt disappointed that I didn't. Finally by the end of the week, I negotiated for food to see my wife's MD friend in Medical Arts Clinic. Dr. Karimova knocked, listened, and told me rather sweetly that the lower half of my left lung was full. No, she didn't elaborate, but prescribed an antibiotic I never heard of and said it will work even with the viral pneumonia I got. I paid cash for the visit, and went to Wal-Mart with my mortgage money. A whopping $25 for 6 pills of Azithromycin in a big paper bag. I took first two pills that night with the prospect of taking one-a-day for the next 5 days provided I make it. Wow! I want to grow these things in my dracaena pot. I was under 100 overnight and up and running the next day. And yes, I ate all of them. Morale of the story? If you insist on having no health (or life) insurance and prefer hostels to hospitals, I suggest you meet Dr. Nilfar Karimova. Viktor Tichy
