Re: Christmas tips

Be wary of a doctor who prescribes antibiotics overmuch. Taken too often,
they become USELESS in the body. For something really serious, give them a
try, but flu shots, boosters for the most mundane concerns, and the like,
are pretty silly.

Try to talk to your doctor about other options, if possible.

Next time I'm making a sail change in a stiff breeze, I'll remember
this Christmas tip.

A sick sailor probably won't be sailing too far.

Discuss the other options with your doctor first...

"Flu shots:" and "boosters" are not antibiotics. Someone who can make
such an elementary mistake isn't even qualified to give advice on taking
aspirin.
