Sick & Tired of Sick & Tired
I can hardly believe that I need to post something about being sick again, I mean it was only a little while ago that I had posted something on the same topic.
Well the truth is I am down with flu once again. I am not impressed. I don’t think that I have ever been as sick as often as I have been this year.
It started last Monday evening prior to doing our training event down in Cape Town. Fortunately the Click Pharmacy at the V&A Waterfront is open till 9pm and I was able to get some meds to try and fix things. It seemed to start working and by Wednesday in Durban I felt rather fine. It turns out that that may have just been because of the different weather down there.
Anyway, as all the Johannesburg dwellers will testify, someone left the freezer open on Monday this week and withing minutes of returning from a pizza run I felt my throat begin to burn. By yesterday morning I had a cold. Yet life must go on. There were back to back meetings from 9am so off I went ending the day with the final studio photography class last night at 9pm.
This morning I think it is full flu. My muscles are aching, I cant breathe all that often through my nose and the throat is threatening to take away my voice. This is a problem as this evening is the second last training event… perhaps we will have to play charades instead!
Doctors & Pharmacies
Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies have one of the best business models around. There are few industries where you are guaranteed business like in ill health. In fact business where you are sure to have clients year round relate to the birth, death and illness.
Here is the point of ponder around the topic of illness though. When you sick and you can’t seem to kick it you head off to the doctor, usually accompanied with someone else who often may not be sick… yet. Together you sit in the waiting room among the coughs and sniffing of everyone else, the healthy ones hoping nervously not to get sick.
One you have seen the doctor who takes every precaution to prevent the passing of his patients germs one to another, you leave with a prescription for medication.
Now let’s talk about the pharmacy where you go to get your medication. How often have you found yourself standing in the que to get medication healthy and fine only to have the person behind you coughing down your neck?
Its a great formula for perpetual business. Now only if I could spread my business products as easily as I can the flu.
