Cough Syrup… or Poison?

    Written on Jan 14 08 // Personal.

It’s been a long time since I was sick. And I hate being sick because when I do fall sick it’s usually damned nasty. So since Friday afternoon, I have been coughing my lungs out and yesterday things took a turn for the worse after watching a movie at GV Vivo. My nose has started to run, and there’s this headache that’s so bad I can’t even sleep throughout the night.

So I just lie on the bed waiting for daylight and for the clinic to start operation at 0830hrs… since 2230 the night before. I must say it’s ten of the most painful hours in my life, though it isn’t the first time I had a flu this bad.

So, it’s $35 for a 10 minutes consultation, some pain killers, medicine to stop the running nose and a cough syrup. And the lady doctor isn’t bad looking though I must say I would prefer to meet her under better circumstances. (And the reason I like this clinic is they don’t normally prescribe anti-biotics.)

But hey… take a look at the cough lotion the doctor prescribed. It says poison. I just had some and it’s sweet. That explains why it has that poison label. Just in case you liked it so much you just down the whole damned bottle.

And now I am waiting for the medication to take effect so I can finally catch some much needed sleep. Not to mention that I am blaming SMRT for my being sick… on Friday night I came onto a train where there were 2 people coughing away and one of them were sneezing like nobody’s business. Thank you very much, SMRT!

    There’s a reason they are called ‘drugs’ instead of medicine in some countries in the West. ;)
