Don’t wear perfume or cologne when you go to the doctor
Whether you smell like a field of flowers or the breeze of a tropical sea, smelling good helps you feel better about yourself. And if you think about it, this is exactly what you might need, especially in a stressful situation, like going to the doctor.
But unfortunately, going to the doctor is the last place you should spritz yourself for. For example, Dr. Jennifer Middleton explained that perfume can make her job even more difficult, because she has asthma, just like the other 8.4% of the US population. “When it comes to just talking,” she said,” it’s easy to avoid you if your perfume is too strong. But if I have to examine you, I’ll enter your personal space.”
How come I’ve never seen this list in any medical facility? How come I never hear or read from ophthalmologists about wearing sunglasses when outside in the sun, especially at the beach and over water? How come there is only a cursory announcement of the dangers of digesting pills laced with harmful drugs?
