Sometimes you can\u2019t help but notice the small signs that signal societal collapse. Now, I\u2019m sure many would claim I\u2019m being unnecessarily over-dramatic, but I suspect many ignored the small warning signs before the ancient and highly advanced Mayan and Egyptian societies collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doesn\u2019t really matter, either way. However, I was sad to see this on my most recent prescription: Take 2 capsules by mouth three times daily for 7 days for cough – qty 30 – no refills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The massive brain fart that caused this made me want to scream, if I could have stopped coughing at the time. Maybe it was an oversight, maybe a middle school dropout typed the prescription, maybe someone with a doctorate-level education just really didn\u2019t care about actually helping me and just needed to kick me out of the clinic so they can meet a quota to pay for a new boat. In an odd way, I hope it was the latter, because the other options just signal of the collective stupidity of our society, so does the latter now that I think about it a bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve always been told to trust doctors and follow any perceptions faithfully because the treatment won\u2019t work otherwise. However, 2 capsules, 3 times a day, for 7 days (2 \u2022 3 \u2022 7) is 42 pills, but I\u2019m only allowed to have 30. I guess my last two days of treatment can go take a flying leap off of the Chrysler Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This does not give me hope for medical care as I continue to age, as we tend to do; it\u2019s rather unavoidable, much like suffering stupid people. What\u2019s super sad is that I\u2019m an idiot; I\u2019ve got no chance in solving this; I can only remain a foolish victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
