Used to work with a chap (very white aussie). He'd always drink hot water and take Chinese herbal meds for everything.

Never met a person who would get sick more than him.

Oh yeah. He used have a hacking cough and would take some weird shit for it. He'd be 100% certain that the medicine helped to cure the cough after like 4 weeks.

4 weeks!!!
