Left Hand Side: Traditionalist dialogue

aiya antibiotic don’t eat

you not sick already eat for what? don’t waste

you think save it next time can use again? use when you really “cmi”

antibiotic resistance not important, you know one person only how to infect the whole world

 

Right Hand Side: Pseudo-scientific dialogue

this type of medicine cannot anyhow finish – still must think the doctor effort la he don’t care one ah your immune system later kena attack again

avoid the same bacterial infection

same antibiotic also no use. anyhow can cause people to literally die. just it’s a pressing emergency, get one mutated virus very easy you know?
