 So what would you do if you had an appendicitis? Surgery or antibiotics? 
 I didn't even know it could be cured with atb👀 
 Atb seems to work fine in 3/4ish of the mild cases, advanced cases usually require the surgery (according to mainstream medicine) 
 How often is it and can it be treated before it's too late? I always thought it goes fairly quickly, usually before the patient even notices. Hours, days at most.👀 
 I am by no means an expert on this topic, but from what I heard you can go the Atb way if you recognize it early, which is difficult with appendicitis, because of its varying symptoms 🙈.

Went to the doc today and they recommended me to basically do nothing and to directly go to the hospital in case of extreme pains. 
 there are things i don't particularly trust doctors with, but i think i would leave that decision up to them 🙂  
 Yeah I kinda stopped trusting docs at all because of the Covid debacle 😅 
 Same story. Trusted and then was many times shown how naive and also hopeless I was. 
 And you also started to inform yourself during C, becoming your own doctor or how did you handle the hopelessnes 😅? 
 have i been misspelling your nym this whole time? apolo. if so!   
 Were you? I changed it from ä, it brought problems with other apps and people here don't get much german anyway.
