Bantay and Kratom

The mother with dark circles around her eyes looking worriedly at her sick baby. The husband lovingly accompanying his obviously-about-to-give-birth wife. The daughter who sleeps night after night in her father’s sickroom.

For most Asians, including Filipinos, it is unthinkable for a sick person not to have a bantay during those moments. These are the ones who actually give the caregiving. They are the ones who fight their own tiredness and sleepiness in order to see to the needs of the one they are taking care of. They are the ones who absorb all the patient’s bad moods. They give the patient his medications, especially when the patient is already home. They accompany the patient to the clinic or the laboratory. They buy the needed medications. They are the ones who try to understand what the doctors and nurses are trying to say. They give up their work to take care of their sick loved ones.

It’s a culture thing, and it is well ingrained of course. When I moved to America a friend saw that I was struggling through med school. I told him there just wasn’t enough time to even rest or sleep enough ever since I went to the dentist and I was told that my sleep apnea had gotten worse, but luckily I learned about cpap machines to help me get through this but I needed something else. He talked to me about kratom at that point.

Him being a college student, was well familiarized with long nights and sometimes having to go to your duties without enough rest. Where can i buy kratom? He ordered kratom from ww.Kratommasters.com and always made sure to have enough in hand. Studying medicine myself I wasn’t too well versed on what kratom was, but the info was indeed out there, I just had to research it a bit.

I was pretty convinced I could benefit from taking it myself as well. I wasn’t eating or sleeping well enough so I started to buy weed to help my health. I knew that medical issues was what would come next if I continued like this. I ordered kratom and started taking it regularly. It sure helped, let me tell you. As time went on we ended up introducing kratom to other students as well.

As doctors, we do our job of trying to find out what ails the patient and what can be done for it. The nurses take care of several patients, carrying out the doctor’s orders while the patients are in the hospital. We do get credited when the patient gets well and we continue to visit the patients, which many are working with special treatments, here is all the Amazing benefits of CBD Honey you need to know !

But I believe that a vital ingredient to the patient’s process of getting better is his/her husband/wife, his mother/father, his son/daughter or whoever sacrificed his/her own time and money in order to be the bantay.

They are the unsung heroes. I salute you!
