Patient Ivermectin 🙄🙄🙄

I recently went shopping at Kroger with my partner, and I was riding around in one of the little carts.

After we were done shopping, I parked the cart at the charging station and plugged it in, while I waited for my partner to bring the car around.

As I'm sitting there waiting, I put my head down on the "steering wheel" bc I feel like shit.

So this guy who works there sees me and asks if I'm okay. I explain that I have stage 4 metastatic cancer and I feel like shit.

He starts rambling off about Ivermectin and how he's seen some shit on YT and all this other bullshit.

Y'all... I legit couldn't fucking roll my eyes hard enough!

I tried to be polite and just said I'll mention it to my oncologist. He then says "if he won't give it to you, then go to another one!" I said that I have two I am consulting with, and I will ask them both.

I do actually plan on mentioning this to my oncologists, BUT only so I can tell others that I've already mentioned it to my doctors, bc I KNOW it's gonna happen again... and again... AND AGAIN!

How do y'all deal with the crunchy woo tyoes? My Satanist ass doesn't do the whole sugarcoating bullshit nonsense, I don't have the patience for it.

How do y'all deal with ignorant ass people like this?!

I would have told him I will have my veterinarian consult my oncologist, maybe I can get a discount if I bundle it with buying it for my horses. Fuck these people. I’m sorry.

I mean, we actually get that dewormer for our horses they take it twice a year. That’s so scary these shots are taking other idiots with no medical degrees advice to take it! Then on top of that pushing it on other people, when their useless and dangerous advice is not wanted. When I first was going through treatment, mid twenties, I had an old “friend” reach out on social media to try to push her essential oils on me as a cure. Honestly, fuck your MLM scam and how callous is that?
