Illness (OCM 750)

Perhaps I’m accident prone, but I get a lot of different injures, constantly. I usually research how to treat something over the internet or call people I know in the medical field for advice. Bee stings, blood blisters, allergic reaction I can’t trace, deficiencies, etc.; I usually have a list of some kind to present to my doctor every time I see her (usually a few times a year at least).

Bodily injuries (OCM 752)

I’m curious how the physical, most common for of injuries are treated. Maybe someone can avoid getting the flu or cancer, but most people have had an abrasion of some kind. If I get a cut I, my instinct is to clean it, use Neosporin, and bandage it once or twice a day until it heals. Someone else in another situation may not follow a similar method or they might and not have the same kind of disinfectant or bandages.

Theory of Disease (OCM 753)

While this also likely a physical cause and effect (unless supernatural aspects are involved), there is a different attitude and methods for healing. I wouldn’t be able to treat cancer on my own, I’d consult a doctor and God to get me through it. Same with an exorcism or other spiritual disease. Diseases are a little more complex and lengthier resulting in more intense treatment. The sense of urgency is a bit more intensified.
