Doctors and Drugs
Telephone in doctor’s reception rings
Me: Hello, I’d like to make an appointment for tomorrow morning if that is possible
Receptionist: I’m sorry, you’ll have to ring back at 8am tomorrow, we can only make appointments on the day
Me: <sigh>
So I tootle off to the chemist to get some pain-killers. I explain to them that my back is hurting, and has been getting worse over the past 8 months. They give me some 200mg ibuprofen tablets. I was sceptical, but they’ve worked wonders. Half an hour ago I was having problems standing up/walking/sitting/lying down. Now it’s all fine!
Aren’t drugs marvellous?
