i moved into my apartment three months ago. the entire time, my roommate nick has had this horrible, horrible cough. it keeps him awake at night. i often hear him running (not walking, running) to the bathroom to gag, and hock, and expectorate with difficulty things from deep within him. his wife elizabeth often makes him sleep on the couch because it keeps her awake at night.
and yet: he won't do anything about it! he won't go see a conventional medical doctor, he won't go see an herbalist i suggested. when i ask him about it, he cheerfully says: "it's getting better! i can tell it's getting better finally. i went a whole day without coughing yesterday." then at night it will be another evening of bathroom runs and gagging and wheezing and being sent to the couch.
i mean personally? if my cough had lasted three months? and woke me up at 5 am on an almost nightly basis? and was so bad that my lady wouldn't even let me snuggle with her? i'd do something about that bitch. but i guess that's just me.
