Drugs

After talking with many co-worker I decided that it might be a good idea to go see a doctor and ask for some medication in case I get sick. I go to my doctor and tell him my travel plans. He suggest I take three different medications. One to help me sleep, one to stop the hershey squirts, and one to help me if I can't stop throwing up. I leave the doctor's office thinking I am in good shape.

I call my mother on the way to the pharmacy to pick up my medication. I let her know what the doctor prescribed for me. She said I should probably only take half of a sleeping pill. She then asked me about the medication he gave me for if I start throwing up. I tell her and she says, "You should read the label carefully on the bottle because I don't think those are meant to be swallowed." WHAT! He wants me to do WHAT! No freaking way am I going to do that!

Those 30 minutes it took for the pharmacist to fill my order were the longest minutes ever. He finally calls my name. I grab the pill bottles and read all of them. They all read take by mouth. What a relief.

  1. Imagine this...David has the runs. David has been throwing up. David reaches for the medication to stop him from throwing up only to realize that he couldn't take them orally...not a pretty situation...
