Okay guys, I'm the Doctor and I'm going to take you back in time and talk about how people died before modern medicine. Fair warning: it involves a LOT of puss, there's a surprising dearth of aliens, and I don't have a sonic screwdriver.
This thread brought to you by twitter scholars speculating that people did "just fine" in the past without medicine. tl;dr for this thread: they did not. They really did not.
Let's address the first obvious point which is the average age of death in whatever era whatever region pre-medicine. It's around 30 or so usually. But fear not! That's just the average! Because infants and children died basically all the time.

In the spirit of "New Year, New Me", let's talk about bad health habits you should think of dropping in 2020 and this decade in general.

#Thread Image
1. Not getting enough sleep

One of the biggest bad health habits plaguing people is not sleeping enough. 8 hours is said to be the healthy ideal but between late nights at high-pressure jobs & staying out late on weekends to blow off steam, many are not meeting this quota.
It's proven that sleep deprivation affects your body's immune system, hormone levels, mood, and decreases your ability to focus. As a result, you need to be proactive about making an effort to get more sleep.

HIV! HIV! HIV! AIDS! AIDS! AIDS!

NOT a death sentence!

A concise, informative and fun read on all you should know about this disease.

A thread, kindly follow, RT and...
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus (can change from RNA to DNA) disease that can be transmitted through contact with bodily fluids (blood,semen,vaginal and rectal fluids and breast milk🌝).

Mostly (80% of the time) from smashing (sex) without condoms 😭😭😭.
HIV is a bastard that destroys the Superhero (immune system) of the body, that helps fight against infections.

HIV cannot be spread through AIR, water, casual contact like hugs, or kissing (but avoid sores sha).

“Sit on hot water”
“Put alum inside”
“Pour dettol inside”
“Wash inside with soap”
“Spice with okra to be slippery”

Your vagina is not the back of pot.
You don’t need to pour vim and wash with metal sponge.

These things can ruin your vagina/tubes and make you never have a child.
You people don’t listen.

Many doctors have said it that the vagina is a very delicate channel.

It is custom made to clean itself and wash itself- WITHOUT ANY HELP from you. Apart from simply having your bath.

You ruin the vagina with many overzealous nonsense ideas you follow.
I would say it again:

Do NOT pour/insert anything into the vagina apart from a clean penis or clean tampon. NOTHING ELSE at all.

No soap. No water. No dettol. No fruits. No balls. Nothing at all.

This is how you give yourself repeated infections that can render you infertile.

FIFTY YEARS OF PRIDE

Today: How to Survive a Plague

By the end of the 20th century, 33 million people were living with HIV, and 14 million had died world wide.

Today, 1 in 7 infected are unaware of their status.
HIV is still a killer.
#Pride
1)
HIV appears to have originated with the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), and jumped to human infection through the consumption of wild chimpanzees. It mutated to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus by the early 20th century.

By the early 70’s, infections were global.
2)
The earliest well documented case of HIV originates from the Congo in 1959, the earliest retrospective case of AIDS was in Norway in 1966.

The vast majority of none sub-saharan infections can be traced to one carrier who brought it to the US in 1969.

A thread on why routine circumcision today is medically unnecessary and inhumane
Let’s start with some videos! Many of us have never, & will likely never witness a circumcision - so here’s your chance to see what is looks like

Plastibell Circumcision
Unlike in the first video, the baby’s screams and cries can be heard during this circumcision procedure. Interestingly enough, they pan away from showing the baby’s face in this video, despite it being very clear he is in distress
