“Come out to the coast, we’ll get together and have a few laughs”
I could go for that right now

It helps to spend time away from the spooky ghosts haunting the manor.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Mine still does, in fact that’s the only thing he actually prescribes. Well, he recommends walking in the mountains, but that’s because seaside is 8 hours away but mountains are only 30 minutes.

You sure that’s a doctor?
Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They have a paper!

“Take a trip to the seaside, it’ll cure what ails you.” “Doctor, I cannot afford that.” “Leeches it is then!”

If we’re sticking to the early 1900s, then you’re far more likely to be prescribed Laudanum rather than leeches.
Laudanum being heroin suspended in alcohol.
Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Laudanum is a 1% morphine solution. Morphine is less potent then heroin. It is a different drug.

Eh, it’s laudable.

It’s not because your not in the right time period it’s because your not rich

Dunno, I have been prescribed times in rehab clinics and there are such clinics in seaside locations.

Man goes to doctor. Says the town is rundown and depressing with major heroin problem. Doctor says treatment is simple: “go to famous seaside town Blackpool. That should pick you up.” Man bursts into tears. “But Doctor, this is Blackpool!”

“not to romanticize the medical practices of the early 1900s”, but let’s romanticize fixing your depression with a seaside prescription.
What is this idiotic post?
BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Well its like the nature walks, the studies showed it can have a better affect than depression meds. Or an amplified affect with both. Humans evolved along side nature and now don’t live in it, our reptilian brain still enjoys it.
DaGammla@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Sure that might be true. But neither “fix” your depression. Just as pain medication won’t fix your broken leg. It will only make living with it easier.
To me this post resembled the shitty “just be happy” mentality depressed people often faced back in the day.

In Czechia they still prescribe visits to the spa
GhostFace@lemmy.today 2 months ago This would cure me.
oce@jlai.lu 2 months ago What about going to the thermae and an olive oil scrapping?
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
how about a hitachi and a speedball
SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago steam powered Hitachi … gotta keep it historically accurate.

The water vapor or the software?
DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 2 months ago I suddenly get why women are so disillusioned about the modern medical system…
“What do you mean I can’t just have some coke and goon?”
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 months ago
TBF I’m not a woman and I’m still disillusioned. The amount of times I’ve heard from doctors more or less verbatim “I don’t know what to do” … might as well prescribe recreational drugs and tell me to goon.
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Oh, if I was picking something for an old timey doctor to prescribe me it would probably be laudanum

I’d go for the cunnilingus, but that’s just me…
Lodespawn@aussie.zone 2 months ago
Or cocaine .. but why not both?
trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Or heroin, the new, non addictive cough medicine!
And anything with radium, of course.
zeppo@lemmy.world 2 months ago My dad’s doctor actually did! He said since it seemed there were problems with feeling oxygen deprived, and we lived at high altitude, try taking a visit to the ocean.

Former owners of the company my partner works at have a host of health issues. They spend a lot of time on the seaside because it alleviates some of it. But also from firsthand experience I know how much it can help.
viertesauge@feddit.org 2 months ago
they still do though..
d00ery@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A GP (doctor) once recommended walking in nature - something to do with fractals being pleasing to the eye - and now many years later I really do appreciate how much I enjoy and feel energised after walking in nature.
He also probably prescribed some chemicals.
