Materia Medica

Check this out.

I got this when I googled.

Source from Wiki: "Persistent fever which cannot be explained after repeated routine clinical inquiries, is called fever of unknown origin."

Anyway, from my self diagnosis from the world-wide-web, I reckon I have "gastritis" again. When I googled "persistent vomiting" I have bunch of crappy results. But when I changed the frequency to "intermittent vomiting", I got a better and more reasonable answer.

I hate the medications for gastritis. Makes me puke immediately after I take it. So I am actually paying doctor $ for making me puke.

I wish I have studied harder and be a DOC....

I did my sum, ok.
$25 per 10min consultation for a GP = $150/hr
$150 X 8 hours = $1.2K per day
$1.2K X 20 days = $24K per month minus away the expenses blah blah blah
I reckon a GP earns at least 6.5K per month

My dad has a family's "本草綱目" collections for his reference.
Basically what these "journals" contain are
"Records of date of symptoms + medicines that were prescribed +
HOW much HE paid per visit"

Seriously. No kidding. Such records do exist.

(Well, I find them kind of neat to have...)
