Bubble burst vs defused bubble: a humble opinion for when you are sick
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Community Health (IJCH) - Year 2014, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
When you are sick, all hell breaks loose. Solutions have problems and society may not have all the answers. It is imperative for individual to not take the plunge. However, when you are pushed off the cliff, you hope you have skills to fly if it is plains below or to swim if there is a water flow. What if you look down and the rocks are waiting for you, you pray that you had double parachute (primary and reserve) to sail you through. If somehow it caught you unawares, you can only wonder that these accidents strike only as often as strikes of lightning bolt with incidence of fatal outcomes equivalent to those strikes. However, if you decide to be suicidal and decide that it is your life, then you must have the resolve to step forward with personal and responsible coverage for yourself because eventually, it is your life.
