Last week I went to the doctor to ask for help curing a problem I thought came from some new pills a fellow doctor recommended. I came away thinking that the medics were in the prescription trade. Instead of helping me get rid of one set of pills, he precribed another. Now, I have one more pill to swallow. At least this one was small in size and did not choke me like some pills tend to do.

Have you even had that sort of problem?

Do you take enough pills that you don't have to eat anything else that fills up your tummy and make your three meals per day seem like a waste of food?

Do you have room for desert afterwards?

Oh well. For one thing, I'm full all the time even though I feel no need for additional meals.

What is your experience with pill pushers?

It all reminds me of the army where you had to go on sick call to get treated. The doctors there gave you a couple of aspirin and told you to go back to work.

Please drop me a line that tells us of your experiences with pill pushers.

By the way, the additional pill did help. I half cured the problem. Now, what do I do to cure the other half?

Buy a pharmacy? That way you might make some money out of the deal.
