Midwestern Medicine

​@@Dash9061he was a high school teacher with a Master's degree back when grad school was much less common. He believed very strongly in the importance of critical thinking. Don't worry, it wasn't that deep, it was just a little family joke :P

We're Midwesterners. If things get a little too out of hand, we have ginger ale and saltines.

[@thekatarnalchemist]

Ginger *beer* for the REALLY bad stuff.

[@plumbthumbs9584]

Proven, effective medicine.

[@erikagehm2805]

Also, ice-cream

[@Lucky9_9]

Y'all are sinning for not mentioning Vernors. Not just any ginger ale will do. 😊

[@JustaMutatedLizard]

Thats...Midwestern ailment?.. I'm turning Midwestern...and I'm not disappointed!

[@dartdodge69]

We're midwesterners. We drink until we have a new set of problems.

[@TheRavenLord1]

True that

[@Bassman97]

I'm from Kansas and you guys are so damn spot-on! The puke bowl, the liquor for a sore throat, the shovel to bury your feelings- so familiar

[@joebiffle2571]

I’m from Missouri and you guys are spot on. Especially with the puke/popcorn bowl

I’m from Washington and we had a lime green puke/popcorn. I guess we were displaced😅

[@Randomperson-yr3gp]

I mean working out and getting sunlight does help with depression so I guess he got a point

[@connorgolden4]

Ginger ale, soup, water, saltines, and alkasetlzer. That’ll handle about 99% of the sicknesses you get.

[@Lucky9_9]

Honestly I think this is just in our genes. Nothing else hits the spot. Don't forget the vaporizer though 😊

[@gretchen8100]

I'm in Kansas City... when my 22yo sister went to a new dr for a refill on her antidepressants, he laughed and said she was too young to be depressed. She didn't go back

I will say that duct tape is a really good improvised bandage if you're in a bind.

[@jonwalstedt1907]

Paper towels and electrical tape works wonders

[@SugarandSarcasm]

If you're not in a bind already, then you will be 😂

[@jacobj5209]

Electrical tape or super glue work well.

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

@jacobj5209 I would only use super glue if it was an emergency and I had nothing else available to me

[@jacobj5209]

@dutchvanderbilt9969 fair enough but doctors use super glue. It shouldn't be a last resort.

[@snowboarder2017]

Should've just given him a bottle of Vernors from the beginning.

Vernors cures everything.😂😂😂

If yer within spittin distance of the midwest, you're rubbin bag balm on that cut. Let's be real. Otherwise, perfection.

Super glue Or the two month old napkin in the glove box and some electrical tape

I'm not remotely midwestern, yet, I get this.

[@rsvp89]

Serious question, like muddy ? Or cover the area in dirt ?

[@ToxicityD-Day]

As a rural european, I can say that we too, use whatever is sticky ebough to work as a bandaid. Hit myself on the hand with an old axe when learning to chop wood. Duct tape worked real nice for that cut!

[@starrystarrynight9822]

Any man knows mental health problems can all be fixed with duct tape! Okay, that's not really true... if you are having problems do yourself the favor of getting some help. The strong ones are the ones who go and *actually* deal with things. Besides, duct tape takes your skin off when you remove it 😅

[@faethe000]

^^ here's the real sense.

[@Alonelyalchemist]

You forgot robitussin. That fixes everything.

[@Mr.paint123]

Duct tape is OK, but this was supposed to be about medicine. Duct tape is better for putting the bumper back on the car. For cuts, you really want to use super glue. Otherwise just rub some more dirt on it, it'll clot.
