Actually I saw prescription medications as those used to treat temporary
diseases which, if you have one, you should not be spreading it to others.
The underwear comment was serious though and I wear glasses so the contacts
comment was accurate. Anyway, I am more than aware that various ailments and
medical conditions have to be attended to at events. I fail to see how an
individuals ailments has any impact on the event as a whole. Each individual
is totally responsible for their ailments and any corrective measures needed
to sustain that individuals health. Not the autocrat, not the kitchen
steward, not the chirurgeon. My comments were meant to reflect the opinion
that if a persons medical problems are not controllable by the person, I fail
to understand why they would consider coming to an event, let alone laying
the responsibility for their continued health onto those who do go. I don't
do this and I fail to see any good reason why others choose to do so.
