00:00One of the incidents which happened with me before I got into the medical field, I usually
00:14had this habit of going to medicine, that is whenever I used to have a simple health
00:22issues like even simple to any complicated health issues like headache or fever, I used
00:28to go to a pharmacy and I used to just ask them to give me a medicine as a painkiller
00:35for my headache or for my fever, to reduce my fever.
00:40But an incident which happened to me, which changed my life was once I was like sick,
00:46I was feeling headache and I had a fever and I went to a pharmacy and I took medicines
00:53and they gave me a painkiller and also the pharmacist asked me if it's severe, I said
01:01yes it is severe and he gave me antibiotics too without the prescription of a doctor.
01:08I never wanted to, just wanted to save some money and I just went and got this.
01:16As soon as I had an antibiotic, I started like itching all over my body, I was like
01:23totally losing my consciousness, I am not able to breathe properly.
01:29So suddenly I went to my mom and I started explaining what's happening to me and she
01:35took me to the hospital and doctor put a knife that I was allergic to insulin medicines.
01:42So this is just an awareness of what I am telling that oral counter medicines is very
01:50harmful and it can take your life.
01:53Like me, I was allergic to insulin, I didn't know and I could have lost my life if I would
02:00not been taken to a hospital in exact time.
02:04So I would recommend you not to take oral counter medicines, always follow a protocol
02:13that is visit a doctor whenever in need and take a prescription then only you take a medicines
02:22to a pharmacy.
