Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 130, Edition 02 of our Weekly Featured Content.
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun we did not want it to end. We are currently on the second topic for this week which is “ANTI-DEMOCRACY”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic which was “SELF-MEDICATION IS IMPORTANT”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community telling us about their experiences with self-medication and what it has taught them over the years. This is something a number of people do due to the hassle that comes with paying visits to the hospital and how expensive it could be.
We got to see the benefits of self-medication and also the dangers because if not done carefully, it could only lead to complications that the individual is in no way ready for. We have to be careful.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w130e1 tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors will be listed below.
Featured Contents
SELF-MEDICATION IN THE DIGITAL ERA: CONVENIENCE OR RISK by @guurry123
This author told us about how rampant self-medication became with time, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic when so many health experts cropped up and gave ‘expert’ opinions on health issues they had little to no knowledge of. However, he supports it because it can be the very thing that saves a life before the patient gets before the doctor. However, if not done properly, it could also be the very thing that takes the life just as well..
THESE BLUE PILLS DID ME DIRTY by @olujay
For this author, he told us about how a pill that was meant to help him fall asleep ended up doing the opposite by keeping him awake and making him so restless, he was uncomfortable for a long time. It was a terrible experience, one that he would never wish even on his worst enemy.
THE CULTURE OF SELF-MEDICATION AND WORSENING YOUR HEALTH @gwajnberg
For this author, he shared with us the dangers posed by those who chose self-medication. Most pharmaceutical companies don’t care about the users, and with so many fake drugs out there, self-medication was a major risk. Getting advise from doctors will always be a better option and is something we all have to come to terms with.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (@melinda010100) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions which are listed below:
Honorable Mention
HEALING BEGINS WITH THE RIGHT MEDICINE by @steemflow
SOME RISKS THAT GOES WITH SELF-MEDICATION by @saydie
SELF-MEDICATION GONE BAD by @kilvnrex
These are posts that were also found to be quite exceptional as well
