Got a tickle in your throat? A chesty cough? or maybe its a funky looking rash down your spine?
Never fear, the middle aged women are here!

I don't know if this is just an Australian thing, or even just a middle class society thing.
But i would just like to ensure that everyone knows what defines a doctor.

You know what, I'll help you. I typed that exact alliteration into google.
1. A person, especially a physician, dentist, or veterinarian, trained in the healing arts and licensed to practice
1. (Medicine) a person licensed to practise medicine

Now i want you to remember some key words there, licensed, physician oh and, practice medicine.
Right got that? pretty simple yeah? 

Thats why I was dumbfounded when I realised that every middle aged women, with children has these qualifications!
I mean surely, with or there profound medical advice, and techniques they must have studied for years?!

Its amazing the medical information that women obtain during childbirth, one minute they're an expecting mum and next there an experienced nurse.

My mother for example is a fountain of medical knowledge, she frequently gives other people my medications for any number of reasons.
For example, I wasn't aware that MY antibiotics could treat so many things. Like my dads cough, my friends sore ear and my brothers sore throat. 

And when i question mum on where she got her honors, she says always rolls her eyes and tells me that its a waste of money to go to a doctor for something that requires common sense. 

So thats common sense, shit, i better pick up my game.

I'm not doubting that my Mama has learnt a few things after raising two kids, but i know that pharmaceutics isn't one of them. 

So know matter how much my ma tries to force me to take my dads back pain medicine for an ear ache, I'm gunna get myself to a licensed physician who practices medicine.
