It's more or less just taken for granted among Christian Scientists that you can wear glasses, go to the dentist, use hearing aids, etc. without sinning much. It's the more vital organs that doctors need to be kept away from. It's like the more life-threatening an illness is, the worse the infraction if you seek medical care for it.
(If you're wondering why I know so much about this, it's because I was raised in a Christian Science home and went to a boarding school for Christian Scientists.)
True story: a CS practitioner gave a talk and was asked during the Q&A why so many CSists seem OK with going to the dentist, wearing glasses etc. while matters below the neck need to be left to prayer. She answered, "Well, you see, Dear, the eyes, the teeth--those are things you use every day."
glittery, rainbow swirl, unicorn poop soft serve, in a cone. that is either super awesome, or the most disgusting thing i have seen since two girls, and a cup.
I didn't realize the Humalin patent had expired. I had an insulin dependant cat (I know, you don't have to say it), and was shocked at the price hike when porcine insulin became unavailable.
Dude, there is no way I am going to dog you for keeping a creature you love alive, even if its a cat. As much as I despise Wal-Mart, when I didnt have insurance, their insulin kept me alive.
I got slapped as a kid for non- medical reasons and now 50 years later, it appears I am pre- diabetic. So it does not work but then again my mom didn't claim to practice Chinese medicine
I love that story because the woman was so out of touch with her body that she didn't think of, say, the heart or the lungs as things she used every day.
And yet, the CSM is an award-winning, well respected, non-proselytizing newspaper. So, they at least got one thing right. :-/
that's 'bout as smart as walking into the drum, and calling everyone there pansies.

And if you should happen to die during it, you'll go out with a smile on your face.

Thank you for another week of hard work. These reports help me stay somewhat happy.
Thank you. Great chunk of info.

For these people, apparently, the brain is not.
P.S. Congratulations on your luck in surviving.
Just don't ever expect any coverage of medical science in its pages.

Have a great day!
No snark from me. : )
Diabetes is my life.
Have a great day!

no haha. Just fuck you. Apart from God, which asshole parent would rather have their child die than give up their own cretinous prejudice.
