This is my wife. She was raised to believe that all suffering is the body fixing itself and has, on more than one occasion, spent two days in bed with back spasms intead of taking the muscle relaxer the doctor gave her.

She also believes that fans make you sick. But like, not the fan in the basement which blows the AC through all the vents. That's not a fan, it's a magic wind box. I am assured that this is sound science, just not among western scientists who are in the pocket of big ceiling fan.

Magic wind box!

Is she Korean?

No, she doesn't think fans will kill her, just make her poop funny. Don't be ridiculous.
