Comment on Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists
Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoWhat you just said, is that stopping the treatment early is detrimental to the human race. Did you perhaps mean the opposite?
Otherwise I’m not sure why you’re trying to argue with me that one should fulfill their treatment plan. I already agree.
I’m not attributing malice. I’m calling it for what it is. Emotional manipulation, intentional or not is beyond the point.

No, I didn’t. Understanding why that is the case is the key to understanding this post.
You specifically said that it was threatening self-harm. That is not true.
You are now trying to move the goalposts. I will accept that as you understanding that what you said was not correct.

If you are promoting antibiotic resistant bacteria in your body, is that not self harm? I sure think it is.
Not all self harm is cutting, starving, or suicide.

The reason why a pharmacists would care is more the fact that once the resistant bacteria gets out of your body and into the world it reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics for every human.
The push to get people to finish their courses of antibiotics is done to keep antibiotics effective for everyone.

Yeah. So we agree that she’s threatening self harm (minimum) to solicit a response from someone. Emotional manipulation.
I’m glad we managed to argue our way to what we already concluded from the start.
