Suffer through it and strengthen your immune system. *nods*

There's a chance suffering through the disease actually compromises your immune system. Which means, basically, you'll prolly die the next time a disease rears its ugly head.

Keep in mind that not all diseases are as obvious as others. Someone who isn't a trained medical professional might not know how sick they are until it's too late.

Serous disease, go to the doctor. Other not so serious crap, stay home, go to an herbalist.

So you're going to always stay at home, further weakening your immune system by not exercising it against the multitude of low-grade pathogens that permeate our world? Yeah, great idea.

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls are made of
Gunpowder and lead


Lol love that song.
